People— even complete strangers— are always asking Ali Wentworth for advice. So far be it for this actress-comedian and New York Times bestselling author to deny them. And if her hard-won wisdom can be as outrageously off-kilter as it is hilarious, well, it’ s not as if the recipient didn’ t know what to expect from the irrepressible, irreverent Wentworth.
Now she channels her inner Dear Abby as she delivers tips, pointers, and judgments on a host of life’ s conundrums and sticky situations. As always, this high priestess of “ razor sharp” (Cosmopolitan), albeit self-deprecating, self-awareness draws on her singular experiences as a wife, mother, and performer, never shirking from talking about the embarrassing or just plain ludicrous. Whether imparting her insights on sex, parenting, infidelity, gossip, friendship, beauty, or Instagram, her anecdote-spiked musings reveal an inimitable worldview at once endearing and hilarious, thoughtful and far-fetched, and always thoroughly entertaining.
