"If Tina Fey and David Sedaris had a daughter, she would be Maeve Higgins." --Glamour

"Maeve Higgins is hilarious, poignant, conversational, and my favorite Irish import since U2. You're in for a treat." --Phoebe Robinson

A timely essay collection about life, love, and becoming an American from breakout comedy star and podcaster Maeve Higgins

Maeve Higgins was a bestselling memoirist and comedian in her native Ireland when, at the grand old age of thirty-one, she left the only home she'd ever known in search of something more. Like many women in their early thirties, she both was and was not the adult she wanted to be. At once smart, curious, and humane, Maeve in America is the story of how Maeve found herself, literally and figuratively, in New York City.

Here are stories of not being able to afford a dress for the ball, of learning to live with yourself while you're still figuring out how to love yourself, of the true significance of realizing what sort of shelter dog you would be. Self-aware and laugh-out-loud funny, this collection is also a fearless exploration of the awkward questions in life, such as: Is clapping too loudly at a gig a good enough reason to break up with somebody? Is it ever really possible to leave home?

Together, the essays in Maeve in America create a startlingly funny and revealing portrait of a woman who aims for the stars but hits the ceiling, and the inimitable city that has helped shape who she is, even as she finds the words to make sense of it all.

Average pillow that might be great for some folks, not for me
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
I should have know this would be like every other pillow I've ever ordered. It's too puffy for me. No give. It claims to offer better support for side sleepers but instead it's giving me kinks in my neck. Not for me. Not adjustable. Not versatile. Standard materials. White. Can't speak to washability and durability as I have had it long and haven't washed it. fair price for two standard pillows. I really wish all these bedding companies would stop rolling and vacuum sealing pillows and such.

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Comfortable pillows with good support
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
I purchased the EIUE Hotel Collection bed pillows (2 pack) looking for something comfortable and supportive, and overall they’ve been a good addition to my bed. The pillows arrived well packaged and fluffed up nicely after opening. They feel soft but still provide decent support for sleeping. I’m mostly a side and back sleeper, and these pillows have worked well without feeling too flat. They hold their shape better than I expected and don’t require constant fluffing during the night. The fabric feels smooth and breathable, which helps keep them comfortable. My only small downside is that they’re slightly softer than what I personally prefer, but that really comes down to personal preference. Overall, these are comfortable, good-quality pillows that offer nice support and value for the price. I’d recommend them if you’re looking for hotel-style pillows that are soft yet supportive.
