7 Reasons You Should Be Reading GroomsDay

Jenny Edmondson's new book is the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" and "Best In Show" cross-over you never knew you needed.

1. Seven is a real-life superhero.

Our heroine Seven’s got a mind of her own in the sassy “tail,” and she's not afraid to say all the things we’ve thought but never said. She even kicks butt in the name of her furry friends!

2. And she’s got an awesome sidekick.

Seven’s got an awesome spirit dog named Warok, who guides her through her new life as a dog groomer. Warok shows her to ropes, and keeps her company along the way. What’s a good superhero without a partner in (preventing) crime?

3. Plus, she’s totally nailing the post-grad job struggle thing.

When her job at Hoity Toity and Partners just isn’t working for her, she dives into the mobile dog grooming business, as a twenty-something out of college, looking to make it in Seattle. She proves that your dream job may not be the job that is perfect for you.

4. Not to mention, she’s hilarious.

With chapter titles like “We never passed up opportunities for free food,” and threats to bite a dog back if he bites her, Seven never fails to make us laugh. She’s a total goofball, and even refers to her crush as ‘Mr. Hottie McToddie.’ We’ve all been there.

5. AND It’s all based on the author’s real life!

Jenny Edmondson really was a mobile dog groomer in Seattle! Though she may not have had a spirit dog like Warok or kicked quite as much butt, she is the youngest of seven children (like Seven!) and is totally head over paws in love with dogs.

6. And she is just as obsessed with her pets as the rest of us.

It’s not just the internet that’s obsessed with corgis. Jenny, like Seven, loves them too! She’s even finally gotten her dream dog—well, dogs! Jenny is living happily ever after with her pups Winston and Clementine.
