Skinny Bitching: A Thirty-something Woman Mouths Off About Age Angst, Pregnancy Pressure, and the Dieting Battles You'll Never Win by Jenny Lee (Paperback, 2006)
This title makes for a great funny gift. In her acclaimed books, I Do. I Did. Now What?! and What Wendell Wants , Jenny Lee hilariously chronicled the milestones of getting married and getting a dog. Now, she takes on the most terrifying milestone of all: getting older. Tackling everything from the peer pressure to have children to resisting the siren call of suburbia, Skinny Bitching delivers unsparingly witty commentary on: what to do when you actually start breaking out again like you did in junior school (how is that even possible?); saying good-bye to going to bars, seeing bands, and generally being cool; finally, facing the fact that those extra ten pounds are never coming off; and dealing with the fact that just when you finally kw what you want out of a husband, it's too late to exchange him. In a hilarious and poignant homage to thirty-something women everywhere, Jenny Lee lets us in on her most intimate secrets as she transforms her modern-day angst into something timeless, moving, and unfailingly funny.
