Happily Ali After - An Other Fairly True Tales

“Wentworth spins hilarious tales of parenting, relationships and, yes, getting older.” — People

The actress, comedian, media darling, and New York Times bestselling author picks up where she left off in Ali in Wonderland, dissecting modern life—and this time, on a mission of self-improvement—in a series of laugh-out-loud comic vignettes.

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 increasing metaphysical importance. And thus begins her “Unhappiness Project.”

It’s not long before Ali expands her self-improvement quest to include parenting, relationship, 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.

At once endearing and hilarious, thoughtful and absurd, Happily Ali After is a thoroughly entertaining collection from “the girlfriend you want to have a glass of wine with, the one who makes you laugh because she sees the funny and the absurd in everything” (Huffington Post).

What happens when a mission of self-improvement goes gloriously, hilariously wrong?

Witty Observations on Getting Older: From Botox fears to the indignities of a post-menopausal dry-vagina cream panel, Ali tackles aging with zero grace and maximum hilarity. A Nemesis-Turned-Friend: The only thing better than hating your arch-nemesis for years? Discovering you were wrong about everything and accidentally becoming best friends. Celebrity Marriage Real-Talk: Find out what it’s really like being married to a “sexual icon” like George Stephanopoulos, especially when you’re the one with the funnier stories. Parenting Without a Plan: From disastrous family trips to Iceland to explaining “wet dreams” to her daughters, Ali proves that surviving motherhood is a victory in itself. The Perils of Self-Improvement: Follow along on Ali’s “Unhappiness Project” as she attempts to live by inspirational tweets with painfully funny results.
