I received a digital ARC of this from NetGalley.

I'm not a fan of sports writing, and I hadn't heard of Jason Gay beforehand, but the existing glowing reviews along with the description enticed me. Know that you too can appreciate Little Victories without caring about sports or the author's other work.

Gay offers advice that is useful, straight-forward, and funny. You'll learn about his family, some of his previous jobs, his fashion sense, and his opinion on a variety of topics. By the time I finished these stories and bullet points of tips and suggestions, I fully bought into the idea that we should celebrate the little victories in life. Sometimes it's good enough that I boiled water and served Costco ravioli with jarred sauce to my family, and if that's a victory at the time, I'm taking it.

I smiled, I took some advice to heart, I chuckled, I nodded, and at the end, I even teared up a bit. I'm pleased that NetGalley provided me the opportunity to read a title before deciding whether or not to purchase it for the library where I work. Most of the time I rely on editorial reviews as well as Amazon reviews to help me decide what to buy. Happily, this will be making its way to my local library's shelves shortly after release.
