Miss Fortune: Fresh Perspectives on Having It All from Someone Who Is Not Okay

Los Angeles Times Bestseller
Â
For fans of Jenny Lawson, Sarah Colonna, and Lena Dunham, an acutely-observed and hilarious take on what happens when life doesnâ€™t end up quite as youâ€™d expected.
Â
â€œGloriously smart, deeply funny, and nakedly vulnerable â€¦ I laughed. I cried. I thanked my lucky stars I didnâ€™t ever have a threesome with co-workers in the Netherlands. But most of all, I fell in love with Lauren Weedman and the raw and complicated truths she so honestly explores on every page.â€
â€”Cheryl Strayed, author ofÂ the New York Times bestseller Wild
Â
Lauren Weedman is not okay.Â

Sheâ€™s living what should be the good life in sunny Los Angeles. After a gig as a correspondent onÂ The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, she scored parts in blockbuster movies, which led to memorable recurring roles on HBOâ€™sÂ HungÂ andÂ Looking. She had a loving husband and an adorable baby boy.Â

InÂ these comedic essays, Weedman turns a piercingly observant, darkly funny lens on the ways her life is actually Not Okay. She tells the story of her husbandâ€™s affair with their babysitter, her first and only threesome, a tattoo gone horribly awry, and how the birth of her son caused mama drama with her own mother and birth mother, all with laugh-out-loud wit and a powerful undercurrent of vulnerability that pulls off a stunning balance between comedy and tragedy.
