“I’m mad Jennifer’s Weiner’s first publication of essays is as wonderful as her fiction. You will like this reserve and wish she was your friend.’ -Mindy Kaling, about Hungry Heart: Activities in Life, Love, and Writing writer of Why Not Me?

‘Fiercely funny, powerfully sensible, and remarkably fearless.’ -Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild

Jennifer Weiner is many things: a bestselling writer, a Twitter trend, and an “unlikely feminist enforcer” (The New Yorker). She’s also a mother, a little girl, and a sister, a clumsy yogini, and a reality-TV devotee. Within this “unflinching take a look at her very own experiences” (Entertainment Regular), Jennifer styles stories of modern-day womanhood as uproariously funny and shifting as the best of Nora Ephron and Tina Fey.

No subject matter is off-limits in these personal and honest essays: sex, excess weight, envy, money, her mother’s coming out of the closet, her estranged father’s death. From unhappy adolescence to hearing her six-year-old child state the F word-fat-for the very first time, Jen dives in to the heart of female knowledge, with the wit and candor that have endeared her to visitors all around the globe.
