Hooray! I Finished a Book!
Apr 14th, 2008 by mom

I wish I could say I read one of Oprah’s book club books or one of the popular Jodi Picoult books that my friends are reading, but I can’t. What I can say is that 1) My son is seeing me read a grown up book, which I think is a good thing, and 2) I laughed my butt off all the way to the end…
The book was Jenny McCarthy’s Life Laughs book. She has 2 other humor books about pregnancy and new mommy-hood. This one was more about marriage and random life experiences. It was hysterical! It was the kind of book that probably drove my husband crazy because I would be reading quietly then bust up laughing and be almost too embarrassed to tell him what I was laughing at. She is totally raunchy, but tremendously honest and open (thus relatable!). Perhaps what is most surprising is how she pokes fun at her own body and bodily functions. I wish I could summarize some of her anecdotes, but her narration is priceless.
If you’re looking for a very quick and light read that will surely make you blush, check it out. (Here’s my weekly plug for finding books at the library for free!)

















I read Belly Laughs and Baby Laughs and you are right, she is raunchy but so honest and funny. It makes her seem human and made me feel more comfortable about the random things happening to my body, etc. I will have to read Life Laughs too as I am sure it will be equally entertaining.
