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). Shes 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 mothers coming out of the closet, her estranged fathers 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.
