Ebook About "Generous and entertaining." —Publishers Weekly (starred review) Finalist for the PEN/Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award for the Art of the Essay * Nominated for “Best Memoir & Autobiography” by Goodreads Choice Awards 2016 * Named a “Best Book of the Year” by New York Post "You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll want to read it again." —TheSkimm “I'm mad Jennifer's Weiner's first book of essays is as wonderful as her fiction. You will love this book and wish she was your friend." —Mindy Kaling, author of Why Not Me? "Fiercely funny, powerfully smart, and remarkably brave." —Cheryl Strayed, author of WildJennifer Weiner is many things: a bestselling author, a Twitter phenomenon, and an “unlikely feminist enforcer” (The New Yorker). She’s also a mom, a daughter, and a sister, a clumsy yogini, and a reality-TV devotee. In this “unflinching look at her own experiences” (Entertainment Weekly), Jennifer fashions tales of modern-day womanhood as uproariously funny and moving as the best of Nora Ephron and Tina Fey. No subject is off-limits in these intimate and honest essays: sex, weight, envy, money, her mother’s coming out of the closet, her estranged father’s death. From lonely adolescence to hearing her six-year-old daughter say the F word—fat—for the first time, Jen dives into the heart of female experience, with the wit and candor that have endeared her to readers all over the world.Book Hungry Heart: Adventures in Life, Love, and Writing Review :
It isn't often that I cry at the end of a memoir--or in the middle of it--but with Hungry Heart, I did. Although Jennifer Weiner began life in affluence, her father abandoned the family as Jennifer began her second year at university. She was pulled out of line and sent to the bursar's office where she learned her tuition had not been paid. With her mother's help, she got student loans that would last for the next several decades. She also got a second job and learned to survive. With her fellow interns, she found a bar that offered "...dips and vegetables, crackers and cheese for free during happy hour. I'd try not to notice the waitress's scowl as I'd load, and then refill, my tiny plate, trying to eat enough to stay full until breakfast." When she develops a hunger for success, it's not for money but for security, because "instability marks you. It leaves you feeling permanently uneasy...""I left Princeton with a transcript full of As and summa cum laude on my diploma...Out in the world, I tried, as hard as I could, to believe in my own worth..."A challenge made immeasurably more difficult by the fact that Jennifer Weiner isn't a size 2, or even a 12. The book chronicles her difficulties around weight, trying to learn self-acceptance in spite of a larger self. I think most women will cry in recognition of the devaluation we feel when all we are is distilled into the single dimension of looks. (I once overheard a "close friend" - I guess, not really - say about me, "She'd be okay if she lost 30 pounds." As hard as I had worked to be a good person, a standout employee, a loyal citizen--well, you never forget.)By the time her first book is sold, the reader delights in the happy ending--except we're only halfway through the book, yay.At this point, JW takes a side trip into her present-day life of social media ups and downs; an ardent feminist (thank you) and cultural observer, she learns the hard way that Twitter is a rough playground at times. She comments on the sexism in the literary world and is vindicated (although by all indications, it's alive and well, still). It's funny and annoying and interesting.Then she returns to memoir with the description of her father's death, and the horrifying revelations subsequently unearthed. Human beings are complicated, and her father was a heartbreaking example. Again, another relatable, compelling part of her story--some relationships will never be resolved, and our challenge is to adapt and thrive in spite of the pain.I'm not sure why Jennifer Weiner wrote this memoir, but it seemed generous that she would. In telling of her challenges and failures, she demonstrates how a person might persevere; in calling out the challenges and failures of our culture, she illuminates where we might do better. And through all of it, she keeps her sense of humor, laughing at herself and with us. A wonderful book. I recommend it. Jennifer Weiner, oh how I love thee! I've read most of her novels (there was one that slipped that slipped by me, but it's definitely on the TBR short list) and, when I heard she was coming out with a memoir, I immediately pre-ordered it. As soon as it arrived, I immediately dug in (despite my mother's snarky facebook comments on my selfie with the book...sigh!).The first half or so of the book is purely biographical. If you've read Weiner's first novel, Good in Bed, you'll easily see the inspiration. And that is okay--Weiner has always acknowledged that her debut novel is semi-autobiographical and it is fascinating to see the reality line up with the fiction.I think I identified most with the "young" Jennifer Weiner. I related to many of the trials she faced as a teenager and I wish that I had had her moxie to deal with them. For those of us who struggled with self-esteem and confidence, her story is an inspiration.The second part of the book reads more like a collection of essays. In this section, she addresses everything from her love affair with Twitter to Miss America to her experience with miscarriage. All are written with the humor and sensitivity one expects from Jennifer Wiener. I found the essay where she addresses the first time her daughter says the F word (not THAT F word, the other one--"Fat") to be especially thoughtful and poignant.As I said, I'm a Jennifer Weiner uber-fan, so the fact that I absolutely loved this book is no surprise. However, I don't think you need to be a Weiner fan, or even have read her novels, to enjoy this memoir. Weiner's humanity and humor shine through and make it a worthwhile read for anyone.
