This is a book you\'ll want to buy for yourself and every other woman you know ( Real Simple )..
Philpott has a wonderful way of finding humor, even in darker moments.
Who among us isn\'t trying to do that? Be forewarned that you\'ll laugh out loud and cry, probably in the same essay.
You can call upon your many selves to figure out who you are, who you\'re not, and where you belong.
Most of all, in this warm embrace of a life lived imperfectly (Esquire), Philpott shows that When you stop feeling satisfied with your life, you don\'t have to burn it all down.
She offers up her own stories to show that identity crises don\'t happen just once or only at midlife and reassures us that small, recurring personal re-inventions are both normal and necessary.
What\'s the worse failure, she wondered: smiling and staying the course, or blowing it all up and running away? And are those the only options? Taking on the conflicting pressures of modern adulthood, Philpott provides a frank and funny look at what happens when, in the midst of a tidy life, there occur impossible-to-ignore tugs toward creativity, meaning, and the possibility of something more ( Southern Living ).
She\'d done everything right but still felt all wrong.
Stuck in a daily grind of overflowing calendars, grueling small talk, and sprawling traffic.

Mary Laura Philpott thought she\'d cracked the code: Always be right, and you\'ll always be happy.
Nora Ephron, Erma Bombeck, Jean Kerr, and Laurie Colwin -- all rolled into one ( The Washington Post ), about what happened after she checked off all the boxes on a successful life \' s to-do list and realized she might need to reinvent the list-- and herself.
