Description de l’éditeur
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The hosts of the popular podcast and E! show LadyGang offer a relatable, empowering, and hilarious take on being unapologetically yourself (even if that's not always your best self) in a manifesto that redefines womanhood for the twenty-first-century lady.
If you're tired of being bombarded with the curated perfection on social media and you're starving for something raw, honest, and a little bit messy, welcome to the LadyGang. Keltie, Becca, and Jac are here to clear away the bullshit and give you the confidence to live your best lady life.
Unabashedly sincere, clever, and full of questionable advice, Act Like a Lady explores the complexities surrounding topics like body image, breakups, navigating a career, and adult friendships through their own embarrassing experiences. The LadyGang has your back with essays like "Maybe She's Born with It, Maybe It's Photoshop" and "If You're Happy and You Know It, Thank Your Ex." You'll learn there's a million different ways to be a lady--and that includes accidentally farting during sex or having the guts to tell your friend she's being a selfish assh*le. No matter what you're going through, you'll find a space to bond over the sloppy, heartbreaking, joyous, and often ridiculous realities of womanhood. Nothing is TMI here.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Knight, Tobin, and Vanek, hosts of the podcast and E! TV show LadyGang, provide a witty guide for women to live their best life. They explore a variety of issues, including body image, sex, "ladyfights," breakups, career moves, and friendships, and dispense wise advice ("a white lie never hurt anyone") and many (often embarrassing) experiences of their own, like running into a date who deemed himself "the voice of Acura" at a shopping mall. Filled with sidebars, lists, and quizzes, the lessons are divided into four sections love, self, career, friends and switch between the voices of the authors. Chapters include "Stumbling Through Ladyhood," which lists essential skills for adulthood, such as how to enjoy sex, understand interest rates, and stop hating one's body. The authors also offer a "Man Manifest List" for conjuring and then attracting the type of person one wants as well as self-care suggestions, scripts for ending friendships, and anecdotes of many failed dates. The LadyGang "dicktionary" rounds things out and is full of funny terms such as "askhole" (someone who asks for advice but never listens) and "rolodicks" (one's list of potential romantic contacts). Fans of the show and podcast will love this irreverent handbook.
