THE REVIEWS ARE IN
“[True] fills the role of a hilarious friend with the mouth of a sailor.” —Beth Spotswood, San Francisco Chronicle
“The perfect mix of wise and wiseass.” —Alexis Burling, book critic for the San Francisco Chronicle, the Washington Post, and the New York Times
“Incredibly profane and profoundly loving.” —Catherine Newman, author of How to Be a Person, Catastrophic Happiness, and Waiting for Birdy
“This is the hilarious and true pregnancy guide I wish existed when I was expecting. A must-have for moms-to-be!” —Bunmi Laditan, author of The Honest Toddler: A Child's Guide to Parenting
“I very much appreciate the inclusive way this is written so I can gift this guide to my pregnant friends of color, non-binary friends, unpartnered friends, and queer friends and not feel like I'm sharing yet another married White perspective seen in every other mother book. Did I mention it was funny?” —Sue, mom of two
“A superbly funny, frank, and actually quite helpful guide for new mothers about what they should expect during pregnancy, childbirth, and early motherhood. It has quizzes, it has worksheets, it has flowcharts. If you’re not a new mother but you know one who doesn’t mind F-bombs, this would also make a winning baby shower book.” —Melinda Wenner Moyer, New York Times science writer and author of How to Raise Kids Who Aren’t Assholes: Science-Based Strategies for Better Parenting—From Tots to Teens
“I just finished your book. I’m just … I guess I’m speechless. So fucking good. Jesus.” —Caroline, mom of one
“It's a perfect book to keep next to your more official parenting books so you can have a laugh when those books make you feel like a real failure.” —Kearsley, mom of two
“Thank you for writing this book.” Sierra, mom of two
“I started reading this to him, but it had a lot of the F word in it, so I had to stop.” —My friend’s Mormon nanny, upon my friend’s 10-month-old handing her my book to read
“Jenny True managed to write a pregnancy guide that this mom of two who never (ever!) wants to have a baby again actually loved reading. A true feat! Completely hilarious, utterly frank, thoughtful, and wise—this book is a breath of fresh air.” —Meaghan O'Connell, author of And Now We Have Everything: On Motherhood Before I Was Ready
“I laughed so hard I scared the dog.” —Frannie, the millennial I used to sit next to at work
“After reading Jenny’s book, I’ve told two men to shut up twice.” —Caroline, mom of one
“Finally! Jenny Pritchett has written the parenting book we’ve all been waiting for. Pritchett deftly—and hilariously—tackles normally overlooked topics such as paranoia-inducing online parenting forums, why a clean house is overrated, sanctiparents (‘You’re using formula? Hmmm’), how irritating it is to hear that ‘it all goes by so fast,’ and the futility of prenatal yoga. What a relief this book is.” —Jancee Dunn, author of How Not to Hate Your Husband after Kids
“In You Look Tired, Jenny Pritchett dishes out hilarious, in-your-face advice to overwhelmed moms and moms-to-be. If you don't have a trust fund, a live-in nanny, or the organizational skills to breastfeed elegantly while getting a pedicure, you need this book. In the voice of her popular alter ego Jenny True, Pritchett tells it like it really is, not the way it would be if you were floating through parenthood on a cloud of maternal fairy dust. There is no maternal fairy dust, people! Fortunately, there is Jenny True.” —Michelle Richmond, New York Times bestselling author of The Wonder Test
