Book Review: I Feel Bad About My Neck (And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman)
This was a great book to kick off 2017, partly because it’s such a quick read you can finish it in one sitting and feel like you’ve already accomplished something in the new year but also because it’s just fun. If you like the happy and neurotic tone of When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle,…

Book Review: Yes Please
My very observant boyfriend noticed how disappointed I was when Amy Poehler’s new book was stolen from me during a white elephant gift exchange. He must have told Santa because just a couple weeks later, I received the very book for our own Chrismukkah gift swap. The holidays may be over, but if somebody is…
