Okay, so I don't fit into the category of "Formerly" like the author, but I am a Formerly in my own way, and this book is so funny I was laughing out loud at the truth of of it all.Yes, we women spend too much time in our youth worry about the wrong things, and yes we hopefully come to realize that "being hot" or caring about out looks are not what really matters, but the way Stephanie Dolgoff puts it makes it all so wonderful to read about and say on every page...there I am!She mixes wit with reality by sharing her own stories of the agonies of Pilates when her mind agreed to do the work but her body stayed on the mat, or her realization that female friends were "community" instead of "identity", or that "warmth trumps sexy" when choosing clothes...or her statement that "there is nothing like a pair of platform shoes to get you closer to God."But her deep truths trump everything else, such as "there is a soul-sucking element to caring too much..for the external", or "it is the clothes job to fit you, not your job to fit the clothes."Love it, love it, love it!!!!
