Publisher's summary

Hey, you. Are you debating whether to destroy something with your bare hands or curl up on the couch for a decade or two?

This book will solve all of your problems. (Sheesh, that's aiming a bit high.)This book is a cup of hot coffee, a ginormous bar of chocolate, or the magical fairy that comes over and does your dishes while you lie in the fetal position clutching a fluffy pillow.

Sometimes when life falls apart the only acceptable response is hysterical laughter. When things get so far gone, so spectacularly a world away from any plans you made or dreams you dreamed, you feel it bubbling up inside of you and you scream, "It's not fair!" And it isn't. Fair is an illusion, and life is weird.

This book will help you laugh at life's absurd backhands. This book is an empathetic groan of our collective unfairnesses. You might want to throw it across the room, and you might want to hug it like your new best friend. This book is about us sitting down together in our shared mess, taking a deep breath, gripping hands, looking the hard stuff in its beady little eyeballs, and bahahahaaing at it.

Life's not fair, but we can learn to love this life we didn't choose.

Good intentions, bad narration

This is probably a good book but I DNF about 30 minutes in because I could not take the theatrical narration.

Delivers it's promise!

I have never left a review, but this audio really deserve one! I picked it up in the middle of struggling with infertility and a miscarriage! This book did not change my life, it did not take the pain away. But it did lift my spirits and made me feel lighter! It felt as though I was chatting with a friend. The author is so down to earth, funny and relatable! I highly recommend this audio.

Just what I needed!

This book has helped me through some difficult times. I have battled with infertility and hardships in life and I related to so much of this book. I wasn’t alone, and that brought comfort. This book made me laugh, cry and really look deep into my heart. So thankful for this book! I have listened to this book about 10 times now and every time I get something new from it.

This book doesn't mock your struggles.

Most books minimize your struggles or make it sound like there's a magic action you can take to make everything work out or that everything gets better if you belive. Life doesn't work that way. It's not fair.
