More Description A "fiercely funny, powerfully smart, and remarkably brave" memoir from a #1 New York Times-bestselling author (Cheryl Strayed, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Wild).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 uproarishly funny and moving tales of modern-day womanhood.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."Generous and entertaining." --Publishers Weekly, starred review"You'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, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Why Not Me?
