"Vibrant and entertaining, relatable and poignant, and above all,
it's funny." - Los Angeles Times "Iliza is exceptionally funny. If
this book doesn't make you laugh, it means you can't read. In which
case, disregard." --Jimmy Kimmel From the razor-sharp mind of
comedian Iliza Shlesinger, a collection of hilarious and insightful
essays about the exasperating issues of everyday life "A book for
everyone wrestling with what it means to show up for ourselves and
the world today. I love Iliza, and I love her advice." --Rebecca
Serle, New York Times bestselling author of One Italian Summer
"Send me a copy of your book and I'll read it." --Sharon Stone "All
Things Aside . . . is Iliza: fresh, funny, and a reinvention of the
form." --Ted Sarandos, co-CEO, Netflix All Things Aside is a
punchy, honest, incisive book that shares a view of the world
through the eyes of the inimitable Iliza Shlesinger. From the macro
to micro, Shlesinger tackles it all with her no-bullshit comedic
style. Throughout the book, Shlesinger dives from one subject into
the next, making her hilarious asides the meat of her stories, much
like she does in her stand-up comedy. Topics range from dissecting
social expectations to the notion that products marketed
specifically to women are scams, and all manner of things in
between. She even dares to ask herself the all-important question
that every woman is forced to consider at some point--Am I actually
an annoying person? Shlesinger also shares intimate moments,
including a devastating miscarriage, which she manages to navigate
not only with grace but somehow with side-splitting humor. As
Margaret Cho explains in the book's foreword, "Every woman has
something to gain from the Everywoman Iliza presents in her
hilarious and astute worldview. . . . I've learned [from Iliza]
that you don't have to quit when you are in pain, that you can
write your way out of the suffering. That there is beautiful truth
to be unearthed from the depths of despair. That the stupid can be
smart and that we put ourselves through hell for nothing." All
Things Aside offers unexpected insights, much-needed truths, and
tons and tons of laughs.
