Praise for The Turkey Is Not the Only Thing Getting Roasted
This holiday exposé is a spot-on caricature of American values, virtues, and vices, curated by a satirist of the highest order. Ultimately, the book is a heartwarming elbow nudge and a knee-slapping reminder of our oddity as a collective culture-playful, observant, and bitingly funny. ★★★★1/2 - Self-Publishing Review
Okine's coast-to-coast holiday tour presents short, fictional vignettes involving eccentric cousins, regional customs, loud uncles, late casseroles, uninvited exes, Wi-Fi outages, and emotional landmines. BookLife by Publishers Weekly
Okine has a firm grasp on the cultural specifics that divide Americans. Belying the book's satirical approach to the uniquely American holiday, the author poignantly reminds readers that even though they may not always get along with family, Thanksgiving is about showing up...Ready to love people who drive you nuts. Kirkus Reviews
An amusing holiday essay collection... celebrates the colorful eccentrics who light up Thanksgiving across the fifty states. Foreword Clarion Reviews
A lighthearted, entertaining read that delivers plenty of holiday laughs, as well as familiarity with universal Thanksgiving traditions and recognition of each one of us in the characters portrayed. Reedsy Discovery
Sometimes you just need a few laughs. Beleaguered readers will find plenty in this light-hearted homage to America's cherished holiday. BlueInk Review
Why Readers Are Gobbling It Up:
If you've ever survived Thanksgiving with a politically divided family, fought over the last slice of pie, or tried explaining why your stuffing must have raisins-this book is for you. From Wi-Fi meltdowns to keto rolls and uninvited exes, Okine serves satire with heart in this roast of all 50 states (plus D.C.).
Whether read in one sitting or savored like leftovers, this laugh-out-loud collection is a holiday tradition in the making.
Book 3 in the USA the Land with at Least 50 Options series.
Because apparently, roasting 50 states once just wasn't enough.
