About this listen

The star of Bravo's breakout scripted comedy Odd Mom Out shares her razor-sharp wit and backhanded wisdom in a deeply observed and outrageously funny collection of musings, lists, essays, and outrages.

From her unique lingo (things don't simply frighten her, they M. Night Shyamalan her out) to her gimlet-eyed view of narrow-mindedness to her morbid but curiously life-affirming parenting style, Jill Kargman is nothing if not original. In this hilarious new book, the sharp-elbowed mother of three turns her unconventional lens on life and death and everything in between, including:

  • The politically correct peer pressure she felt from the new moms in her hood, the women who provided the grist for the mill of her hit television show
  • The evolution of her aesthetic from Miami Vice vibrant (a very brief flirtation) to Wednesday-Addams-meets-rocker chic
  • Her deep-seated New Yorker's discomfort with moving vehicles that aren't taxis and subways (aka "suburban panic disorder")
  • The family obsession with reading obituaries for their medical revelations and real estate news value
  • The reasons why, in a land of tan-orexic baby-oil beach bakers, she chooses to honor the valor of her ghostly pallor

From a hellish visit to the Happiest Place on Earth to her unusual wedding night with Russell Crowe to her adrenaline-pumping gay pride parade experience, Sprinkle Glitter on My Grave is as wonderfully indecent and entertaining as a spring break road trip with your best friend. Assuming your best friend is the kind of gal who still wears a motorcycle jacket to pick up the kids at school.

“We love her on Bravo’s Odd Mom Out, and in Sprinkle Glitter on My Grave, Jill Kargman brings us a hilarious essay collection about life, death, and everything in between.” (PopSugar)

“[A] love letter to her deeply macabre family.” (Vogue)

“The creator of Bravo’s Odd Mom Out, Kargman dishes out a variety of essays that poke fun at herself, her family, friends, and the world in general.... Prepare to laugh.” (Kirkus Reviews)

#Obsessed

LOVED!!!! Seriously. I haven't read (er.. listened to) a book this lighthearted and funny in a long time. Jill's voice adds a lot to the enjoyment factor.
My one and only complaint: It's too short!

Love Jill!!!

Jill is amazing and I laughed hysterically every time I listened to this in my 30 mile drive to work! I couldn't wait to listen and the cameo from Abby Elliot as Brooke Von Weber is the best!!!!

laughed thru the whole book

I just love Jill. I am a huge fan of Odd Mom Out. I always feel I could relate to her character. after listening to this book I realize it isn't an act. her rants are so relatable. if you can't handle 4 letter words then this isn't for you. Jill thank you for making sitting in my car fun again.

A one time read.

I’m fine that I used a credit on this book. Funny tidbits here and there and interesting takes on her life experiences. But the book has become dated and I cringed more than a few times throughout. The author’s perspective is so unique to her that I don’t think she realizes how spoiled she is and portrays herself through the book. Definitely gives major “I have a mondo stomachache from eating to much gourmet caviar and champs all day. Poor me” vibes.

Really annoying

Any additional comments?

I'd seen "Odd Mom Out" and thought it was funny, so I thought I'd give one of Jill's books a try. I didn't make it past the 2nd chapter. Jill seems to thing that more curse words=more coolness. I'm not even that bothered by expletives, but it's tiring when there are 1-2 in each sentence, mingled with Yiddish words. Jill Kargman tries very hard to convince you what a hip and goth-cool mom she is. I was annoyed and couldn't take any more of it by the 2nd chapter. I returned this audiobook.
