Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ve enjoyed Ann‘s fiction, and this was a funny essay collection. I hope I am well on my way to not giving a f*ck in later middle age. I appreciate this is a time when many of us stop trying to be the nice one all the time. Plus, I enjoyed some of the funny bits about her dealing with husband Dennis‘ fame. Very cool they‘ve stayed together since college. That so rarely happens now.

This book of essays from novelist (and wife of Denis) Ann Leary is a lot of fun and in places quite funny. From dealing with bats to celebrity culture to menopause, she covers a lot of ground. I really enjoyed it.

I have enjoyed Ann Leary‘s fiction and was excited to get an advanced copy of this book, which are essays about Ann‘s life with her husband (the famous Denis Leary) and her kids. Some of the essays were laugh-out-loud funny, and they are spot-on with someone within her same age range..*ahem, 50”ish”*
