Lots of laughs

I have read her other books and this one didn't disappoint either. I loved reading and laughing through and interesting, was a great book. I laughed out loud a few times reading this book. Definitely recommend to all!

***1/2 Much of this book was laugh-out-loud funny, and will appeal to the women of a certain age among us. I particularly loved the last essay.

Jenna McCarthy is so funny.  She had me giggling throughout most of the book.  I'm almost 30, but there were a few things I could relate to in her book.

Jenna does an awesome job of being in your 40's not sound so bad.  She makes you realize that even though you are getting older, life is still pretty effing great.  Her stories with motherhood could almost mirror my own.  I can't tell you how many times my oldest tells me something jiggles.  It's maddening.

I'm not looking forward to the day that I give my child my clothes because they look better in it than I do.  That will most definitely be a depressing day.   McCarthy does a fantastic job of making even the most awkward, and some times humiliating, situations not seem very bad at all.

I've Still Got It is funny and witty.  I really enjoyed it, and found myself sharing some of the stories in it with my husband.  It's awesome when you read about something that is relatable, and hysterical, at the same time.
