Publisher's summary

By the New York Times best-selling author, an outrageous collection of personal essays about adulthood, responsibility, and other potential disasters.

Jenny Mollen is a writer and actress living in New York. Until two years ago, her life was exciting, sexy, a little eccentric, and 100 percent impulsive. She had a husband who embraced her crazy - who understood her need to occasionally stalk around the house in his ex-girlfriend's old beach caftans and to invite their drug dealer to Passover seder (so he wouldn't feel like they were using him only for drugs). Then they had their son, Sid, and overnight Jenny was forced to grow up: to be responsible, to brush her hair, to listen to her voice mail.

Live Fast Die Hot is a collection of stories about what happens when you realize that some things are more important than crafting the perfect tweet. It follows Jenny to Morocco, where she embarks on a quest to prove to herself that she can travel alone without reenacting a plotline from Taken. It shows her confronting demons - most of them from childhood, a few from the spirit realm. And it culminates in Peru, where Jenny decides that maybe the cure for her worries lies at the bottom of a cup of ayahuasca.

Hilarious, outlandish, and surprisingly affecting, Live Fast Die Hot reminds you that even if you aren't cut out for adulthood, at least you can be better at it than your mother.

Critic reviews

"Jenny Mollen is hovering only slightly above sanity, which is the one quality I require in order to be friends with a mother. This hysterical circus of a book reminds me why we're friends." (Chelsea Handler, number-one New York Times best-selling author of Uganda Be Kidding Me)
"With her incomparable wit and acidic wisdom, Jenny now turns her signature perspective to the most terrifying of feminine terrain: motherhood. And with a generous helping of demented antics and just enough vulnerability to make you cry, she'll have every complicated woman thinking they just might be up for the job. Lord help us all." (Lena Dunham, number-one New York Times best-selling author of Not That Kind of Girl)
"I kind of can't believe Jenny Mollen is an actual person and not a character - she's biting, hilarious, surprising, over sharing, and relatable." (Andy Cohen, number-one New York Times best-selling author of The Andy Cohen Diaries)

Wanted to like it

I was a little misled about this book. Seeing some celeb's comments about how funny it was led me to believe I was in for a funny story. I only chuckled a couple of times but nothing like I expected. I do love how accepting she is of her crazy and would like to explore that more. I'm going to give her first book a try because I'm intrigued about Jason's ex! I didn't hate this book by any means, I just was expecting more. Especially with this title! The title is fantastic!

Slowly went downhill....

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

After the baby nurse, the stories went downhill for me. It feels like the stories you hear but 'you had to be there' in order to see the humor. I'm returning. Can't finish. Awesome narrator.

A blast!

Jenny Mollen never disappoints. I love her first book and her second is just as good. Funny, raw, unapologetically real!

Unless you live in Beverly Hills, don't do it

OMG.
I thought this was supposed to be funny?
I made it to Chapter 5, but once she started going crazy about a "ghost" she's ridiculous. If I had to hear about her nanny, housekeeper or another worthless "friend" of hers. I honestly feel bad for them because I feel like they don't have any idea how the real world works outside of likes, acceptance, & materialistic things.....like the talk about the purse for her nanny that she also couldn't help but spoil but then turn around and say how she takes advantage of them? The privilege of it was just way tooo much for me, but if you like to keep up for the absolute ludicrous life of a C list celebrity and his wife who made a book. HERE IT IS.

Totally worth it!

Love Jenny's blunt, raunchy humor. I Loved Her First book but my only disconnect was that she didn't understand what it was like to b a mom. And then I find this book.. so funny.

Boring

It was difficult to finish. I guess I just can't related to bored housewives. The title was misleading as it really is just her complaining about not being loved as a child, how her husband is amazing, and her son is now her world. There you go, the whole book. Nothing in the book is about living fast or dieing hot. I kept listening thinking maybe it would get better. Instead, it just trails off with three random stories that don't really flow about her dogs and a rather uneventful drug trip.

I don’t even like books

BUT IM OBSESSED WITH THIS. Jenny makes this book come to life. The fact she includes her husband, son and nanny makes you feel like part of the family or like your Jenny herself.
