by Ali Wentworth"Hilarious. . . . Her glass isn't half full--it's 'empty and cracked.'"--Entertainment Weekly (the Must List)Moved by a particularly inspirational tweet one day, Ali Wentworth resolves to live by the pithy maxims she discovers in her feeds. What begins as a sort of self-help project quickly turns into something far grander--and increasingly funnier--as the tweets she once viewed with irony become filled with growing metaphysical importance. And thus begins her "Unhappiness Project."It's not all that long before Ali expands her self-improvement quest to include parenting, relationships, fitness (or lack thereof), and dieting advice. The results are painfully (at times literally) clear: when it comes to self-help, sometimes you should leave it to the professionals."Razor-sharp."--Cosmopolitan"Irresistible. . . . Sharply observant and incisively funny."--Library Journal
