Contrary to popular opinion, the title of this book is NOT meant to be creepy in any way. It’s something that the author’s 3-year old son said to her one day as she prepared to go about her busy day. The essays in this collection are something the modern day wife/mother/career superwoman can strongly identify with. When Philpott had completed all that she thought denoted true happiness, she was left with a pile of anxiety. She makes us question our adulthood quandaries and identities and yet makes us wish she was our best friend. Funny and eloquent.

Georgette Coan is the manager of Barbara's Bookstore at Woodfield Mall in Schaumberg, IL. She began working for Barbara's in 2010 and was the manager at Barbara's in Burr Ridge, IL. Georgette believes that people still buy paper books because they long for the feel of a physical volume in their hands, actual books on their bookshelves at home, a way to have an actual library (you can't wrap an E-reader!) to pass onto their families. "Books harken back to a more nostalgic era. This new technology isn't for everyone; physical copies of books still offer another choice to those who don't care for the newfangled technology known as E-books and E-readers."
