Summary

Joining the ranks of Let's Pretend This Never Happened and Carry On, Warrior, a fierce, hysterically funny memoir that reminds us that comedy equals tragedy plus time.Twentysomething Nora McInerny Purmort bounced from boyfriend to boyfriend and job to job. Then she met Aaron, a charismatic art director and her kindred spirit. They made mix tapes (and pancakes) into the wee hours of the morning. They finished each other's sentences. They just knew. When Aaron was diagnosed with a rare brain cancer, they refused to let it limit their love. They got engaged on Aaron's hospital bed and married after his first surgery. They had a baby when he was on chemo. They shared an amazing summer filled with happiness and laughter. A few months later, Aaron died in Nora's arms in another hospital bed. His wildly creative obituary, which they wrote together, touched the world.Now, Nora shares hysterical, moving, and painfully honest stories about her journey with Aaron. It's OK to Laugh explores universal themes of love, marriage, work, (single) motherhood, and depression through her refreshingly frank viewpoint. A love letter to life, in all of its messy glory, and what it's like to still be kickin', It's OK to Laugh is like a long chat with a close friend over a cup of coffee (or chardonnay).

    I found "It's Okay to Laugh (Crying Is Cool Too)" to be a mix of emotions, both sad and funny, where it touched on both the depressing and hopeful aspects of life. This audiobook really made me reflect and consider different perspectives. The author's love for her husband was evident throughout, and overall, it was a beautifully written memoir.

    I found this book to be a perfect choice as my first audiobook, especially since my boyfriend, who is now my fiancé, recently received a Stage 4 Glioblastoma diagnosis just two months ago. It provided a wealth of information, injected humor when necessary, and struck a balance of sadness that helped me stay grounded in reality. It truly encompassed everything I needed. If you're looking for guidance on navigating life when it seems determined to knock you down, I highly recommend giving this book a listen. It's a must-have!

    After recently experiencing the heartbreaking loss of my husband, who I had been with for 42 years, I found myself aimlessly searching the internet for some kind of solace or guidance. During my search, I stumbled upon a Ted talk by Nora that immediately captured my attention. I was instantly drawn to Nora's words and knew that I needed to delve deeper into her insights, which led me to discover this book. For anyone who is struggling with the grieving process and isn't sure how to navigate through it, Nora offers a refreshing perspective that allows you to acknowledge that it's okay to not be okay. Her candid and honest storytelling is exactly what I needed to hear during this difficult time. In fact, I've found such value in this book that I'm currently on my second listen. Trust me, you won't regret investing your time in reading it.

    This audiobook is quite a ride! It stirs up a whirlwind of emotions, ranging from sadness to humor to a deep sense of melancholy. It's a great listen overall, especially if you can connect with the experiences the author shares. However, if you can't relate, it might come across as a bit too bleak and disheartening.

    I was totally caught off guard by how engrossed I became. And to my astonishment, I found myself both shedding tears and bursting into laughter. The writing is absolutely stunning, and the narration is exceptional.

    This book has plenty of enjoyable aspects. The author's humor is on point and the book has a great dose of sarcasm (in a positive manner). However, it felt like the story dragged on a bit too much. Overall, it's a good read, but not exactly a standout for me.

    I gotta say, this book is hands down the best one I've come across about dealing with death. Nora really hits the nail on the head when it comes to showing us what it's like to cope with losing someone we love. She keeps you hooked with all the feels, and she really delves into the kind of strength it takes to support someone who's facing the end of their life. And let me tell you, Nora's narration is on point. She shares her own experience with so much humor and honesty, it's truly outstanding. Nora, thank you for blessing us with this gem.

    This book, "It's Okay to Laugh (Crying Is Cool Too)", is a perfect blend of wit, heartbreak, and hilarious moments that will make you laugh out loud. It's truly endearing. The author's personal story of loss is deeply moving, but it's also a remarkable gift she has shared with those fortunate enough to join her on this journey.

    This book is a rollercoaster of emotions ... for me, it was extremely captivating and compelling ... and as intense as those emotions are, the mix of humor and deep sadness is even more powerful ... this story is absolutely remarkable. Nora, Aaron, and of course, many other individuals in this narrative are outstanding ... but Nora and Aaron ... you two are amazing. May Aaron find eternal peace.
