This was okay. I assume the author is well-connected in the book community because there's a lot of love for this book online. This book breaks no new ground, and didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. I'm not sure who would get anything out of it. Thanks again to my library for saving me the purchase price of this disappointment.

I love this style of book and Philpott’s introspective and conversational tone was compelling. Even though I can’t relate to most of her experiences, I found myself immersed in her anxiety experiences.

I related to so much of this book. Mary Laura nails it on so many topics. I especially liked her enthusiasm for life (and happiness) and her perspective on death and worries. Frank the turtle also stole my heart.

Bomb Shelter: Love, Time, and Other Explosives by Mary Laura Philpott is a series of essays form a “lifelong worrier.” My reaction to the essays varies, depending on which of the situations and emotions resonate with my own experiences. Some I find myself laughing along with and nodding my head. Some I find myself skimming because they are not relevant to me or the experiences like the pandemic are too close to my own reality for me to want to read about as yet.
