I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Seriously, This was an uproariously fun memoir to read!!! It would be sad to have missed it!
Within my life’s motto, lie the words, “Devour Books”! Jenny Mollen’s memoir made me live up to those words, as I swallowed this book whole. This memoir is told with complete “blunt-force trauma style” honesty! Every morsel was hysterically candid!! She overuses the word “Gravitas”, but; in her memoir, it is a necessary adjective.
I am laughing as I write this review, because it would take some spoilers to really express the hilarity to you, and I don’t give out spoilers. The chapter names are all the spoilers you need.
There are not so many A-Ha moments, but plenty of OMG moments. I would find it hard for a reader not to see a bit of themselves within some of this story! I was thinking I wanted to be her best friend, I wanted to hang out with her, I wanted to help her stalk her ex-boyfriend and his ex-girlfriends. I wanted to drive past her husband’s ex’s house, until they met in person. I would have led the charge! Maybe this means I have a bit of an issue, and need counseling like she does! Realizing I wanted to text her, I knew I had fallen in deep serious like with her!
She was a Facebook stalker, but; aren’t we all at one point or another. She has a colorful family life to share with us, and I am grateful she does; because I felt less alone in that.
I did not know who Jenny Mollen was, and a few pages in to the book, I wanted to google her; I chose not to. I would ask you to do the same, so that when you find out who she is, and who her husband is; the insanity that is her mind (I say this playfully)…..makes more sense.
She is more talented at humorous story-telling than Chelsea Handler, which is a huge accomplishment. I see a bright future for her; sure she has more stories to tell.
I sure hope she goes for it! I will wait patiently, or better yet; stalk her until she does!
