An outspoken dad's brassy, wise and painfully honest view from the top of the family tree." - Kirkus Reviews "There are a lot of memoirs that are filled with sweet, syrupy, stories and annoying life lessons. This is not one of them. It's an honest and hilarious potrayal of how aggravating it can be to raise a family. Even my dad would read this, and he generally thinks the name Drew is reserved for inbreds." -Justin Halpern, author of the New York Times bestseller Sh*t My Dad Says Drew Magary's book shows better than anything else I've read-with humor and sadness and fear and style-what it's like to be a parent. He reveals the honest terror of it. But the beauty too, and the dragginess, and joy, and all the rest. If you're a parent, read it. If you want to be a parent-or know someone who does, or already is-read it. So, yeah. Just read it. -Darin Strauss, NBCC award-winning author of Chang & Eng and Half a Life "The world needs Drew Magary's wonderfully funny, breathtakingly honest book about parenting, which reveals what few have the nerve to come right out and say: It's never going to be perfect-but there's no shortage of hilarity amid the heartaches. Parents will feel a little less alone in the company of these chapters, and non-parents will get a moving, utterly entertaining glimpse into a world that might be theirs someday. Reading this book was like being held and rocked through the joys and pains of life all night long, with no spit-up involved." -Jen Doll, memoirist and senior writer at The Atlantic Wire "Absolutely wonderful. Drew Magary has written an honest and funny and moving account of his journey into parenthood. He has an eye not only for the absurdities of the human condition but also for its deeper meanings." -David Grann, author of The Lost City of Z and The Devil and Sherlock Holmes "The Father's Day book for dads who hate getting books for Father's Day. Someone Could Get Hurt is hilarious, unpretentious and honest." -Will Leitch, author of Are We Winning? and God Save The Fan . "If you know how to read you should definitely read Magary's book. Whether you don't have children, have children, or you've recently stolen a few, you will love this." -Joel McHale, Comedian " If you are a parent, I challenge you to not simultaneously laugh and sob through this entire book" -Rachel Dratch, comedian and author of Girl Walks Into a Bar "As expected, Drew provides the reader with biting humor and profane observations about parenthood, but his stories are also disarmingly candid, tender and insightful. You will cry as much as you laugh at this deeply moving and brutally honest account of family life. I expected it to be laugh out loud funny, but damn if there isn't some seriously deep shit woven in with the wit, and because of that, I developed a soft spot and a new respect for this smart ass motherfucker. Oh, and I now say 'Amen' after every fart." -Nicole Knepper, LCPC, MA Jojobogoski, Ltd. Mental Health Counselor and Consultant/ Freelance Writer
