Even if you sometimes think you arent! And especially if other people try to tell you youre not.In I Know What Im Doingand Other Lies I Tell Myself Jen offers up all the gory details of a life permanently in progress. She reassures you that its okay to not have life completely figured out even when you reach middle age (and find your first gray pubic hair!). She talks about making unusual or unpopular life decisions (such as cultivating a friend with benefits or not going home for the holidays) because you dont necessarily want for yourself what everyone else seems to think you should. Its about renting when everyone says you should own dating around when everyone thinks you should settle down and traveling alone when everyone pities you for going to Paris without a man.From marriage to divorce and sex to mental health I Know What Im Doingand Other Lies I Tell Myself is about embracing the fact that life is a bit of a sh*t show and its definitely more than okay to stay true to yourself.
