From Rebecca Shaw and Ben Kronengold, the youngest comedy writers ever for The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and masterminds behind the viral 2018 Yale graduation speech, comes a hilarious collection of short stories taking on coming-of-age, memes, sex, politics, relationships, and Goop, with satire, self-deprecation, and utter irreverence.

Showing off their trademark humor and writing chops that have made them a viral sensation, Rebecca Shaw and Ben Kronengold provide a collection of startlingly funny short stories that will keep readers laughing.

Naked in the Rideshare is a riotous collection of comedic short stories, bursting with the safe spaces, shrooms dealers, and Notes app apologies that define growing up right now. The essays take a drunken cannonball into this generation’s hopes and anxieties. A camp color war ends in ritual sacrifice. A twenty-something enters a sexual relationship with his childhood fairy god milf. A summit outside of space and time brings together a teen's selves from ages 1 to 81.

Irreverent, disturbing, and surprisingly rife with hope, Naked in the Rideshare aims to shine a light on the generation we can’t stop talking about—and all the ways we get them so wrong.

I thought it was supposed to be funny, kind of weak, overall.

The funniest story was “We Have Your Son” that was hilarious, the rest was kind of meh. Some of the sexual jokes peppered around the book were funny, but overall it was a disappointment. I wanted to be rolling on the floor. Overall great performance work. But humor works differently with different people.

Hilarious

Soooo funny and relatable and weird and inventive. Obsessed. I have recommended it to everyone and bought copies as gifts!

brilliant

Insightful and hilarious in the same breath. Some of the references are suited to more toward millennials, but I got enough of them to help me realize how very funny these guys are.
