NATIONAL BESTSELLER - The beloved author of Here for It returns with a collection of "funny and compulsively readable" (Vogue), "hilarious and incisive" (Time) essays about what happens after happily ever after.
"How is it possible that I liked this book even more than his last one? Phenomenal."--Jenny Lawson, New York Times bestselling author of Broken (in the best possible way)
A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: NPR, Garden & Gun, Real Simple After going viral "reading" the chaotic political news, having one-too-many awkward social encounters, and coming to terms with his intersecting identities, R. Eric Thomas finally knew who he was and where he was going. He was living his best life. But then everything changed. In this collection of insightful and hilarious essays, Thomas moves back to his perpetually misunderstood hometown of Baltimore (a place he never wanted to return, even to be buried) and behaves completely out of character. They say you can't go home again, but what if you and home have changed beyond recognition? From attending his twenty-year high school reunion and discovering another person's face on his name badge, to splattering an urgent care room with blood ? la The Shining, to being terrorized by a plague of gay frogs who've overtaken his backyard, Thomas provides the nitty, and sometimes the gritty, details of wrestling with the life he thought he'd left behind while trying to establish a new one. With wit, heart, and hope for the future, Congratulations, The Best Is Over! is the not-so-gentle reminder we all need that even when life doesn't go according to plan, we can still find our way back home.
