The only woman in human history who has had more trouble with Apples than Maura Stone was Eve in the Garden of Eden. This is one of the revelations of Smut Snark Satire. Although I have very little in common with a half-deaf, bilingual New Yorker who has been exiled to a small town in the wilderness, it only takes a few chapters of this book to get me on her side and understand her life. This is the power of persuasive storytelling. Maura is such a master of narrative—like Garrison Keillor and others—that she makes her extraordinary circumstances believable. She invites you to a glimpse of the hilarity and by the end of it, you’re advocating for her. By the end of this book, you will want to smash your iPhone under your heel and call Apple support and rant at them until they make good. For yourself, to be sure, but mostly to remedy the injustice Maura Stone has suffered at their hands. This blog turned book is at times poignant, at times off-putting—the way all good stories should be—but always hilarious. Highly recommended.
