Non-Fiction Memoir
A rapier-sharp, hilariously irreverent collection of
true-life essays from the beloved author of Sippy Cups Are
Not for Chardonnay. Stefanie Wilder-Taylor has never been one to take the
conventional route. Whether financing a move to LA with only
a best friend's bat mitzvah savings or accidentally
freebasing cocaine, Stefanie is living proof that the
unlikely can happen -- usually to her. And when it does, the
best response is a potent combination of pluck, luck, humor,
and frequently, alcohol. In these candid essays, Stefanie recounts how a nice Jewish
girl from Queens became a Hollywood producer, writer, and
mother of three, with some surprising detours along the way.
From disproving her mother's "cars aren't free" refrain by
going on Hollywood Squares and winning one, to signing up
for a romantic sunset cruise that turns out to be a hellish
fratfest staffed by a pushy pirate-attired crew, Stefanie
shares her triumphs, missteps, and the many lessons learned.
She reveals why it's never a good sign when your new
therapist brings out a stuffed bumblebee and a whiffle ball
bat, and how to outsmart a potential stalker by channeling
your inner Tori Spelling. Through the good, the bad, the
poignant, and the outrageous, she displays a voice that is
by turns self-skewering, hopeful, and wise. It's Not Me,
It's You is personal storytelling at its funniest, bravest,
and most irresistible.
