Product Description
by Ali Wentworth (Author)
"Wentworth spins hilarious tales of parenting, relationships and, yes, getting older." -- People
The actress, comedian, media darling, and New York Times bestselling author picks up where she left off in Ali in Wonderland, dissecting modern life--and this time, on a mission of self-improvement--in a series of laugh-out-loud comic vignettes.
Moved by a particularly inspirational tweet one day, Ali Wentworth resolves to live by the pithy maxims she discovers in her feeds. What begins as a sort of self-help project quickly turns into something far grander--and increasingly funnier--as the tweets she once viewed with irony become filled with increasing metaphysical importance. And thus begins her "Unhappiness Project."
It's not long before Ali expands her self-improvement quest to include parenting, relationship, fitness (or lack thereof), and dieting advice. The results are painfully (at times literally) clear: when it comes to self-help, sometimes you should leave it to the professionals.
At once endearing and hilarious, thoughtful and absurd, Happily Ali After is a thoroughly entertaining collection from "the girlfriend you want to have a glass of wine with, the one who makes you laugh because she sees the funny and the absurd in everything" (Huffington Post).
Pour a glass of wine and settle in for:
- Midlife Reflections: Ali tackles turning fifty, a pre-midlife crisis, and the hilarious indignities of getting older with her signature self-deprecating wit.
- Marriage and Parenting: From disastrous family vacations to navigating marital squabbles with her husband, George Stephanopoulos, Wentworth shares the painfully funny side of domestic life.
- Laugh-Out-Loud Stories: Follow Ali's "Unhappiness Project"--a misguided self-improvement quest inspired by ironic tweets that quickly spirals into absurdity.
- Women's Humor: The perfect read for anyone who understands that sometimes the best self-help is admitting you should have left it to the professionals.
