Live Fast Die Hot

<b>*A <i>NEW YORK TIMES </i>HUMOR BESTSELLER*<br /><br />By the<i> </i>author of <i>I Like You Just the Way I Am </i>and a frequent <i>Chelsea </i>contributor, an outrageous collection of personal stories about motherhood, responsibility, and other potential disasters</b><br /><br /> Jenny Mollen is a writer and actress living in New York. Until two years ago, her lifewas exciting, sexy, a little eccentric, and one hundred percent impulsive. She had a husband who embraced her crazy—who understood her need to occasionally stalk around the house in his ex-girlfriend’s old beach caftans and to invite their drug dealer to Passover seder (so he wouldn’t feel like they were using him only for drugs). <br /><br />Then they had their son, Sid, and overnight, Jenny was forced to grow up: to be responsible, to brush her hair, to listen to her voicemail.<br /><br /><i>Live Fast Die Hot</i> is a collection of stories about what happens when you realize that some things are more important than crafting the perfect tweet. It follows Jenny to Morocco, where she embarks on a quest to prove to herself that she can travel alone without reenacting a plotline from <i>Taken</i>. It shows her confronting demons—most of them from childhood, a few from the spirit realm. And it culminates in Peru, where Jenny decides that maybe the cure for her anxiety as a mom lies at the bottom of a cup of ayahuasca.<br /><br />Hilarious, outlandish, and surprisingly affecting, <i>Live Fast Die Hot</i> reminds you that even if you aren’t cut out for parenting, at least you can be better at it than your mother.
