Description

In her acclaimed books I Do. I Did. Now What?! and What Wendell Wants, Jenny Lee hilariously chronicled the milestones of getting married and getting a dog. Now she takes on the most terrifying milestone of all: getting older. Tackling everything from the peer pressure to have children to resisting the siren call of suburbia, Skinny Bitching delivers unsparingly witty commentary on: * What to do when you actually start breaking out again like you did in junior high school (how is that even show more possible?) * Saying good-bye to going to bars, seeing bands, and generally being cool * Finally facing the fact that those extra ten pounds are never coming off * Dealing with the fact that just when you finally know what you want out of a husband, it's too late to exchange him In a hilarious and poignant homage to thirty-something women everywhere, Jenny Lee lets us in on her most intimate secrets as she transforms her modern-day angst into something timeless, moving, and unfailingly funny. show less
