Description
“You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll want to read it again.” —theSkimm
“Fiercely funny, powerfully smart, and remarkably brave.” —Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild
A hilarious and candid essay collection from New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Weiner that explores everything from motherhood to grief.
Jennifer Weiner is many things: a bestselling author, a Twitter phenomenon, and an “unlikely feminist enforcer” (The New Yorker). She’s also a mom, a daughter, and a sister, a clumsy yogini, and a reality-TV devotee. In this “unflinching look at her own experiences” (Entertainment Weekly), Jennifer fashions tales of modern-day womanhood as uproariously funny and moving as the best of Nora Ephron and Tina Fey.
No subject is off-limits in these intimate and honest essays: sex, weight, envy, money, her mother’s coming out of the closet, her estranged father’s death. From lonely adolescence to hearing her six-year-old daughter say the F word—fat—for the first time, Jen dives into the heart of female experience, with the wit and candor that have endeared her to readers all over the world.
Reviews
Waste of Time and money
1By DaKoda1If you love her books, you will not necessarily like this "homage" to herself. It drones on and on about her horrible childhood. Perhaps its supposed to be funny, but it really comes off as pathetic. Some of her "musings" come off as rants about how unfair life is for an overweight, intelligent young woman. Interesting for a couple chapters but then you've had enough of wallowing in victimhood with her and toss the book. She should stick to stories about other people.
