I loved Wade Rouse’s previous book, Confessions of a Prep School Mommy Handler and was thrilled when he sent us his new book to review. Rouse’s books are laugh out loud funny and poignant, all at the same time.
In his new memoir It’s All Relative: Two Families, Three Dogs, 34 Holidays, and 50 Boxes of Wine (A Memoir), Wade Rouse walks readers into his life through humorous family holiday anecdotes. Sometimes wickedly funny, sometimes wrenchingly sad, the always heartfelt Rouse shares his life as a gay man in a loving relationship. Fans of David Sedaris and Jen Lancaster will love this one!
I haven’t read Wade Rouse, but those excerpts you posted got my attention. I can see why you describe this as “funny yet poignant” … and am laughing at the ‘box of wine,’ which brings back my own eye-rolling memories!
Thanks so much for the great review!! Any book clubs out there. if you pick my book I will call in the night you discuss!!
