There are good surprises and there are bad surprises. Jenny McCarthy, the <I>New York Times</I> bestselling author of <I>Baby Laughs</I> and <I>Belly Laughs</I>, told you the truth about childbirth and about the first year of mommyhood. Now she's telling the truth about learning to juggle it all: work, motherhood, romance, sex; and even what to do when a relationship just isn't working anymore. She doesn't have all of the answers, but she knows what it's like to be a modern woman in a mixed-up world&#151;and she's not holding back. <P> With outrageously funny musings on faking it, what to do when your man thinks your friend is a bitch, hiding the Visa bill, and what to do when you turn into your parents, <I>Life Laughs</I> is the perfect book for those days when you just want to crawl back into bed, the days you want to raise a glass with friends, and anytime you just want to giggle. 45602 25 4 2006 Life Laughs: The Naked Truth about Motherhood, Marriage, and Moving On total:538|5:140|4:170|3:152|2:60|1:16| 538 1972 790 140 4 1 false false Mon May 11 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jan 28 22:29:04 -0800 2009 Mon May 11 17:34:54 -0700 2009 This was my first read by Jenny McCarthy.
