Notes to Boys

And Other Things I Shouldn't Share in Public

By: Pamela Ribon

Narrated by: Pamela Ribon

Notes to Boys: And Other Things I Shouldn't Share in Public is a "mortifying memoir" from best-selling author and tv/film writer Pamela Ribon. Miserably trapped in small-town Texas, with no invention of the Internet in sight, Ribon spent countless hours of her high school years writing letters to her (often unrequited) crushes. The big question is: Why did she always keep a copy for herself? Wince along with Ribon as she tries to understand exactly how she ever thought she'd win a boy's heart by writing him a letter that began: "Share with me your soul" and ended with some remarkably awkward erotica. You'll come for the incredibly bad poetry, you'll stay for the incredibly bad poetry about racism.

Critic reviews

"...[B]rain-breakingly funny.... [H]ugely relatable, very entertaining.... It's a collection of embarrassing stories and mortifying notes, yes, but it's also a pretty deeply felt memoir about her introduction to boys and sex...." (Linda Holmes, NPR)

HYSTERICAL

Fantastic. Biting, incisive, & kind. Tough balance. Was constantly typing out funny bits to send to friends. Book induces proselytizing in that way all lovely things do.
