Hooked on phonics worked for me.

I just finished Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah and girlies, I LOVED IT!! It's the classic chic-flick read. I laughed, I cried, I couldn't put it down...seriously. Such an easy fun read, I highly recommend soaking in the tub with this one...and a glass of vino of course! :)

Here are a few more fabulous fun reads which you all may find hilariously insightful. Further proof that dysfunction makes for great fiction!

We all have plenty to cry about. So grab a tissue, and maybe a xanex. This new collection of short stories, Don't Cry, by Mary Gaitskill examines the human experience and themes of uncertainty, abandonment, loneliness, and grief through tales of ordinary people.

Speaking of ordinary people, who really wants to read about people who have perfect careers, families and relationships? We want the nitty-gritty, the down-right ugly, people we can identify with for goodness sake! This collection of short stories, Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned by Wells Tower's, is far from being pretty. But you can totally relate with the humor and empathy.

Another thing you can probably completely relate to are those random, unprovoked emails or calls from your mother wanting to discuss everything from sex, cooking, daily talk shows, or how bad your hair is looking. *hanging up the phone now* Love Mom by Doree Shafrir and Jessica Grose, is a compilation of these inspiring, hilarious, and downright embarassing moments. Who knew motherhood was so easy?
