Hungry Heart: Adventures in Life, Love, and Writing

Description

“Generous and entertaining.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) Finalist for
the PEN/Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award for the Art of the Essay Nominated for
“Best Memoir & Autobiography” by Goodreads Choice Awards 2016 Named a “Best
Book of the Year” by New York Post “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, author of Why Not Me? “Fiercely funny, powerfully
smart, and remarkably brave.” —Cheryl Strayed, 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 tales of
modern-day womanhood as uproariously funny and moving as the best of Nora
Ephron and Tina Fey. 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. Read more Read less
