Reviews

""How to Be a Saint is a divinely funny and surprisingly informative exploration of how the Saints became Saints... and how you can, too. Kate Sidley brings the humor of a tenured late-night comedy writer and the repression of a lifelong Catholic to this consecrated guide for anyone interested in the cheat codes to Heaven.... If you want to piss the Devil off, buy this book!-- Nicole Conlan, writer, The Daily Show ""How to Be a Saint is a smart, funny, and delightfully weird deep dive into Catholicism. Plus, I'm pretty sure reading it gets you into Heaven."""" -- Kristen Bartlett, writer, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee and Saturday Night Live ""I laughed so hard, but I also learned so much? Kate Sidley is a brilliant writer!"" -- Jo Firestone, head writer and co-executive producer, After Midnight ""Kate Sidley is one of the sharpest, funniest people I've ever been lucky enough to know and this book somehow manages to be as sharp and funny as she is. Weird. Thanks to Kate from a fellow Catholic for all the laughs and for the very helpful advice on how to get past heaven's airtight security system."" -- Brian Stack, writer, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Late Night with Conan O'Brien
