A Perfect Ten: The Truth About Things I’m Not and Never Will Be

Comedian Land (I Ain’t Doin’ It) delivers witty rants on life in this raucous testament. After posting her first sarcastic video on social media in 2017 and seeing it take off, Land jumped into her career as a stand-up comic, traveling the country and refining a routine that poked fun at her religious childhood, divorce, and life as a single mother raising two children. Land zippily careens through topics such as growing up in the South (“Hometown stores where everyone knows your name and anyone can discipline you in the absence of your mama”) and the oddity of millennials’ language (“CMC (call me crazy), but all these new words have me wondering how to crack the code on today’s streets”), but also offers moments of seriousness in which she explores how her faith has given her perspective and encourages readers to reassess their priorities, change, and grow. “Know that it is OK to be where you are in your season—unashamed, unapologetic.” The final chapter on finding new love is especially moving. Land’s revealing anecdotes and heartfelt encouragements will appeal to Christians who enjoyed Rachel Hollis’s Girl, Wash Your Face. (Oct.)
