Riverhead Trade, 2005

Honest, hilarious, addictive.

Wendy's book is way more honest about the ups and downs of weight loss than all the "nothing tastes as good as thin feels" b.s. I've read elsewhere. I laughed all the way through this. If you're looking for a weight-loss cheerleader this isn't the book for you, but if you want to hear what the ...

I really enjoyed reading this book! I was so into it that it took me less than 48 hours to finish it. It is enjoyable and voyeuristic. I think a broad variety of women would enjoy this book.

Do Not Read While Eating Because It's So Funny You Might Choke

+ David Sedaris does it again!
+ Not heartwarming... in a good way.

When I opened this book I had limited time so I decided to look for the shortest essay in the book so I could sneak in a quick read. I selected "Big Boy" which started on page 97 and ended before the next essay that started on page 100. By the end of the first paragraph I was already laughing and ...

Hillary Carlip

Harper Paperbacks, 2006

Life: Go for it, baby!

+ Please Hillary -- Write Another One
+ Queen of Everything!

This Queen inspires us to cross the line between fantasy and action, to come alive, to unabashedly be who we really are. Her directness is endearing, her daring causes us to step up and stride right along with her. Hillary possesses a self-acceptance and giddiness that charms us into feeling ...

+ If you liked the column, you'll like the book

While walking through the London (Gatwick) Airport, the title of this book beckoned me. Although I was 24 at the time, I did hide the title from my parents. This book is entertaining and compelling. It is written in diary form, and the author experiences and details true to life dilemmas and ...

Jill Soloway

Free Press, 2005

Too much and yet not enough

I came to this book because I was a fan of Six Feet Under and Soloway of course was a writer for that great show. I don't know, perhaps I expected something more like the show instead of yet another book I feel like I've read too many times before. Here was yet another entry in the genre of ...
