234. Elna Baker, I think you're funny. Some may think you're jeopardizing your beliefs because you're a Mormon comedian in NYC. You do laugh at yourself, the rest of us and the conglomeration of Mormon idiosyncrasies that appear strange in the limelight. But I appreciate how you only chip away at our culture and not our gospel. The memoir is about her adaption of life in a city with wildly different values than her own. Her anecdotes about relationships, wardrobe mishaps, and Mormon young single-adult events, which she pins as a way for "Mormons to meet, marry and then make more Mormons", make this book hilarious and charming.
