I received a free digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The authors pulled together a fun collection of insights, a few of which made me laugh. Unfortunately, many of them felt like the same jokes repeated or minor complaints blown up. But this would make a good gift for someone who shared the opinions of the authors.

I was able to read the digital ARC of this through NetGalley!

For Millennials, especially us elder millennials, this book hits close to home. There are too many milks, the world is on fire, teenagers are terrifying, and we're living longer to see it all happen! This is a hilarious reflection on the current state of the world and especially for the Gen X, Millennial and Gen Z generations. When I say hilarious, I do mean that this is dark comedy, definitely with a heavy hand of uncomfy for the first few pages. Though like life, you slowly get accustomed to this and just accept the darkness that it is. This would be a great gag gift or coffee table book for Boomer parents, or the Millennials that just want to reflect on the trash fire that is the world right now.

Personally, I am a little biased to oatmilk, just saying.

Usually when someone calls their own book "laugh out loud funny" I roll my eyes and prepare mentally for a rapid-onset case of underwhelming to assault me. Lawall and Wonder's book: "There Are Too Many Milks" claimed the golden title of hilarity and then defended their championship perfectly. At one point my wife stomped in the living room and asked flatly: "What are you DOING?" because I, a grown man with four children, was giggling at my iPad. "Babe, it's this storybook!" I tried to show her but she sighed and left the room leaving me in peace to finish what has just become my new favorite gift for people. Except the book isn't out yet. And so I wait, and wait, and wait for March to finally roll around.

In the meantime, you can find me at the store laughing in the milk section, because there are in fact, too many milks.

This was just OK for me. I didn't really find it especially funny and the artwork really didn't do it for me. Maybe someone with a different sense of humor will pick this up and fund it hilarious though.

Thank you so much for Netgalley and the publisher for this advanced copy.
Sometimes funny, but sometimes just cringe. the book is so so.

Ok what the heck, this was actually really funny 😂 it gave me Far Side vibes, with a sarcastic take on the annoyances of today’s world. I thought it was very clever!

Thank you for the EArc NetGalley and Chronicle Books. As a 40something I could totally relate to the hilarity in this book and did in fact, laugh out loud many times. Dongle with cheese anyone? This book is a quick read and I wanted it to be longer but the content is highly relatable and hilarious and the illustrations were equally as entertaining. I loved it. If you don’t laugh you ARE one of the people who are causing/inventing these annoyances.

This was ... fine.

I laughed at some of the spreads, and others made me cringe. If felt very straight white middle class woman for better or worse. I also didn't particularly care for the drawing style, so I don't think this book is for me.

I think there is potential here, but just needs to find the right audience.

The description of this book says it is a laugh out loud collection of illustrations. I am sorry to say that I only laughed once, when there was a picture of dogs in sweaters, and we are told that dogs have never dressed better, which I agree with.

But all the other observations about modern life, eh. I'm probably the wrong target for this book. There is a lot of resentment about not having the wonderful life on social media, having no followers, and getting botox, none of which I worry about.

So, I'm sure someone much younger than me, and with more worries would find this book as laugh out loud hilarious, but it wasn't that way for me.

Your milage may vary.
