Non-Fiction Memoir
"I like to consider myself a late bloomer, meaning someone
who will eventually, however late, come into bloom. Although
when and if I will bloom remains a mystery. I wish I knew
how to speak a foreign language fluently. I wish I knew how
to cook a simple roast chicken, or that I had read The
Idiot, whose main character sounds like someone I can relate
to." In quick succession, Amy Cohen lost her job writing sitcoms,
her boyfriend (with whom she'd been talking marriage), and
her mom, after a long bout with cancer. Not exactly the
stuff humor thrives on, is it? But filtered through Amy's
worldview, there's comedy in the most unexpected places. In
this unforgettable, engaging memoir, she recounts her
(seemingly) never-ending search for love, her evolving
relationship with her widowed dad, and her own almost
unintentional growth as she stumbles through life. Filled with observations sweet, bittersweet, and
laugh-out-loud funny, The Late Bloomer's Revolution
will be irresistible to anyone who believes her greatest
moment is yet to come.
