Generous and entertaining. --Publishers Weekly (starred review)**Finalist for the PEN/Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award for the Art of the Essay *Nominated for "Best Memoir & Autobiography" by Goodreads * Choice Awards 2016 *Named a "Best Book of the Year" by New York PostYou'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll want to read it again. --* TheSkimm**"I'm mad Jennifer's Weiner's first book of essays is as wonderful as her fiction. You will love this book and wish she was your friend. --Mindy Kaling, author of * Why Not Me?**Fiercely funny, powerfully smart, and remarkably brave. --Cheryl Strayed, author of * WildJennifer 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.
