Publisher Description
In her hilarious debut, Maeve Higgins smashes the brittle veneer on the creme brulée of life and hands around spoons, so we can all taste the delicious absurdity that lies beneath. She then promises to stop making terrible food analogies about everything.
From terrifying hen nights, malevolent dolphins and angry bakers, to runaway cats, a stalker who won't commit and the curse of over-politeness, Maeve writes with warmth and wit about what it's like to be a regular human girl.
We Have a Good Time...Don't We? introduces a strikingly original voice that celebrates the truth of what we really feel about ourselves through these hilarious and perceptive snapshots of life.
Customer Reviews
Heartwarming & Hilarious
I loved this book! If you are Irish or have spent any time in Ireland at all then you will love all the Irish-isms scattered liberally throughout the book. I may be biased though as I was already smitten with Maeve's unique style of comedy after watching Fancy Vittles and then seeing her live stand-up in Cork once upon a time. Her personality comes across so well in the book and you really feel like you get to know her and her family. I actually laughed out loud on the train - repeatedly - and forced my boyfriend to listen to me repeat passages that I found particularly amusing! I finished it last night and I miss it already. Buy it. Read it. Love it.
