📘 Cool, calm & contentious by Merrill Markoe

In *Cool, Calm & Contentious*, New York Times bestselling author Merrill Markoe turns the classic joke formula—hard parents, teenage angst, toxic relationships, restless pets—into a candid, humorous memoir. She shares vivid family anecdotes, from a father’s napkin lecture to a mother’s perpetual irritation, and reveals her own journey through college, sexuality, and an affinity for dogs over people. Markoe’s essays blend humor, truth, and a biting perspective, inviting readers to laugh, reflect, and perhaps feel a little better about their own difficult relatives.
