I Was Told There'd Be Cake

by Sloane Crosley

Description

In this debut collection of literary essays, Sloane Crosley hilariously chronicles her own brand of urban haplessness and the often-absurd realities of navigating modern life. With a voice that is both wry and profoundly genuine, Crosley recounts tales of well-intentioned mishaps, from accidental museum vandalism to workplace woes, all while capturing the unique spirit of the city that shapes her. These essays offer a startlingly funny and revealing portrait of a relatable character striving for the extraordinary but frequently encountering the comically mundane. Crosley's sharp wit and keen observations celebrate the beauty found in imperfection and the unexpected lessons learned along the way.
