And then what happened was that she became a wild-pregnant-mammal-thing and then she exploded herself by having a whole baby blast through her vagina during a global plague and then she was expected to carry on like everything was normal-but was this normal, and had she or anything ever been normal?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Herein lies an account of this journey, told in five phases-Single, True Love, Pregnancy, Baby, and Ongoing-through luminous, laugh-out-loud funny, unclassifiable essays that take the form of letters to a doctor, dreams of a stork, fantasy therapy sessions, gossip between racoons, excerpts from an imaginary olden timey play, obituaries, theories about post-partum hair loss, graduation speeches, and more.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e No one writes like Jenny Slate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Slate, Jenny","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52337293295890,"sku":"9780349127484","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/9238\/5846\/files\/7728363482312.jpg?v=1780439751","url":"https:\/\/hbswarehousesale.com\/products\/lifeform-hardcover","provider":"Harvard Book Store Warehouse Sale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
