What The Reviewers Say
Linda M. Castellitto,
BookPage
... a smart, thoughtful, sometimes vulnerable, always witty collection of essays. Some are new, some previously published, and together they offer an overview of a very special life so far.
Scaachi Koul,
The New York Times Book Review
In first person, Lippman is funny and sharp at her best; she can sling a hell of a one-liner.
Colette Bancroft,
Tampa Bay Times
These are personal essays, witty and poignant and thoughtful, about Lippman’s life.
Donna Seaman,
Booklist
For all of Lippman’s success as a best-selling novelist and crime writer, she examines her life in pithy personal essays with a strong shot of ruefulness and not a shred of self-congratulation. In her first nonfiction title, she is confiding, sharply funny, and disarmingly candid about both her struggles and her privilege.
