These small doses of wit and sass make for an exuberant, unforgettable audiobook.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e–bestselling author Sloane Crosley comes \u003ci\u003eLook Alive Out There\u003c\/i\u003e—a brand-new collection of essays filled with her trademark hilarity, wit, and charm. The characteristic heart and punch-packing observations are back, but with a newfound coat of maturity. A thin coat. More of a blazer, really.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFans of \u003ci\u003eI Was Told There’d Be Cake\u003c\/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e How Did You Get This Number\u003c\/i\u003e know Sloane Crosley’s life as a series of relatable but madcap misadventures. In \u003ci\u003eLook Alive Out There,\u003c\/i\u003e whether it’s scaling active volcanoes, crashing shivas, playing herself on \u003ci\u003eGossip Girl, \u003c\/i\u003ebefriending swingers, or staring down the barrel of the fertility gun, Crosley continues to rise to the occasion with unmatchable nerve and electric one-liners. And as her subjects become more serious, her essays deliver not just laughs but lasting emotional heft and insight. Crosley has taken up the gauntlets thrown by her predecessors—Dorothy Parker, Nora Ephron, David Sedaris—and crafted something rare, affecting, and true.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLook Alive Out There\u003c\/i\u003e arrives a decade after \u003ci\u003eI Was Told There’d be Cake\u003c\/i\u003e, and Crosley’s essays have managed to grow simultaneously more sophisticated and even funnier. And yet she’s still very much herself, and it’s great to have her back—and not a moment too soon (or late, for that matter).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47029063876848,"sku":"9781427293558","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781427293558_p0.jpg?v=1763746042","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781427293558","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
