“The Most Fun We Ever Had” by Claire Lombardo. Well, the title alone is enough to make me suspicious. The most fun ever? I’m not entirely convinced that such an experience could be both the epitome of enjoyment and a productive endeavor. The cover features a beautiful ginkgo leaf, which is soothing and calming. However, we must remember that too much fun often leads to frivolity, and frivolity rarely yields fruitful outcomes. As enticing as this New York Times bestseller might appear, one must approach it with caution—lest we find ourselves lost in the throes of unproductive delight.

Rating: ★★★☆☆

Summary: A visually appealing cover promising the most fun ever, but beware: such fun might be dangerously unproductive.
