books that indicate the reader may have more positive qualities. Josiah Gogarty's contribution to the list:
The best books are at least a little bit unhinged, and you want a dash (not too much) of the same spirit in a relationship. Save us, please, from the mediocre Hinge dates who are still stuck on the bland “sad girl lit” on special displays at Waterstones. Patricia Lockwood’s pyrotechnic memoir Priestdaddy, about her dad who’s also a priest (he became a Catholic after having kids), is suitably deranged: very funny and very emotional – and sometimes at once, just like infatuation should be.Read about the other entries on the list.
Priestdaddy is among Tom Perrotta's six favorite funny books.
