Live Fast Die Hot

*A NEW YORK TIMES HUMOR BESTSELLER*

By the author of I Like You Just the Way I Am and a frequent Chelsea contributor, an outrageous collection of personal stories about motherhood, responsibility, and other potential disasters

Jenny Mollen is a writer and actress living in New York. Until two years ago, her lifewas exciting, sexy, a little eccentric, and one hundred 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 voicemail.

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 anxiety as a mom 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 parenting, at least you can be better at it than your mother.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Mollen is the voice behind @jennyandteets, which is chock-full of potty humor, sexual innuendo, and bad behavior. If you like this kind of thing — which I do — you’ll inhale her memoir like an illegal substance (which the author has also likely inhaled at one time or another). Sharp, saucy, and mildly disturbing, she reminds me of a young, psychotic Nora Ephron."
—New York Magazine's Vulture

"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, #1 New York Times bestselling 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, #1 New York Times bestselling 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, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Andy Cohen Diaries

"Raunchy, witty, whip-smart fun. Jenny Mollen is the girl your mother warned you about."
—JENNIFER WEINER, New York Times bestselling author of Who Do You Love?

“The wild, wonderful Jenny Mollen unleashes her life story… Proof that life is often stranger and always funnier than fiction.”
—PIPER KERMAN, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Orange Is The New Black

Salty with a side of groovy over share

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

If you like your writers PC, pass this up. If, like me, you like your writers salty with a side of insanity, oversharing, and strangely relatable twisted musings, get this book! Just as funny, if not more so, then her podcast. Love it!

More than just a laugh

I preordered this book because of my love for the author's humor! I have not read her first book yet.
Live Fast, Die Hot was funny, full of honesty, sarcasm, wit, hilarious banter and the raw emotions of becoming someone's mother. An awesome read - but an even better listen on the audio book option!

A blast!

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

Amazing!

Jenny did it again! This book is amazing! She is an amazing story teller and her life is wild. I love this! I can't wait for another book!

Fuck yes! Love this audio book!

Love this book! So much! This book had me laughing my ass off one minute and deeply moved the next and sometimes both at the same time. It made my new mommy heart clinch and just as I would burst into tears I would simultaneously be thrust into hysterical laughter while coffee sprayed out of my nose. Jenny Mollen is unapologetically her brilliant crazy self and she translates it in an extremely refreshing and self aware way. For me, one of the hardest parts of becoming a mom has been the death of the old me, missing her funeral and then having to get to know the new me. This book made feel not so alone in all my new mommy adventures and heady ridiculousness. 💜💜💜
