Praise for The Harm In Asking

“Whether [Barron is] moving into a friend's walk-in closet because she's priced out of Manhattan real estate, discussing her love of bad music, or going on a hot date at Chipotle, we're lucky to squirm alongside her. . . . Barron makes for great company. The show-stopping penultimate essay alone . . . is worth the price of admission.”--Entertainment Weekly

“If you’re searching for something both well-written and hilarious . . . then this Bud’s for you.”—BUST Magazine

"Sara Barron has a knack for colliding into life's odd characters and sharp corners with hilarious and heartrending results. Here she navigates this journey with the biting humor and telling observation of a born storyteller." –Piper Kerman, author of Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Woman's Prison

“Made me laugh so hard, my ribs and sides ached. . . . If Sex in the City had been based on reality, it would have been more like . . . Barron’s book. . . . If you like funny, brutally honest, self-deprecating writers who write about life’s everyday degradations (Barron has been compared to David Sedaris), then you may want to pick up a copy of The Harm in Asking.”--PopMatters.com

"Pick up The Harm In Asking as soon as you can so you can feel like you’re talking to your favorite friend, the one who is not afraid to say salty things and expose her secrets for the joy of watching you respond with a hearty laugh."--HelloGiggles.com 

"There are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments thoughout. . . . Fans of the Chelsea Handler/Tina Fey awkward-and-unashamed sense of humor will find a kindred spirit."--Publishers Weekly

“Sara Barron is the reigning queen of New York’s live storytelling scene. In The Harm in Asking she proves she's even better written down." –Jon Ronson, author of The Psychopath Test
