Title: Miss Fortune Subtitle: Fresh Perspectives on Having It All from Someone Who Is Not Okay Author: Lauren Weedman Narrator: Lauren Weedman Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 03-22-16 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 35 votes Genres: Comedy, Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Lauren Weedman is not okay. She's living what should be the good life in sunny Los Angeles. After a gig as a correspondent with The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, she scored parts in blockbuster movies, which led to memorable recurring roles on HBO's Hung and Looking. She had a loving husband and an adorable baby boy. In these comedic essays, she turns a piercingly observant, darkly funny lens on the ways her life is actually not okay. She tells the story of her husband's affair with their babysitter, her first and only threesome, a tattoo gone horribly awry, and how the birth of her son caused mama drama with her own mother and birth mother with laugh-out-loud wit and a powerful undercurrent of vulnerability that pulls off a stunning balance between comedy and tragedy. Critic Reviews: "Weedman's charm and self-deprecating humor easily draw the reader in, and her willingness to tangle with hard truths make this a deeply affecting account of salvaging a life from wreckage." (Publishers Weekly)
