My new book, Jennifer, Gwyneth & Me: The Pursuit of Happiness, One Celebrity at a Time will be on sale July 1. For those of you who can’t wait another second—or those who can’t decide if this book is for you—I present to you an excerpt, which I hope will leave you as excited for July beach reading as I am.
There’s been some exciting Jennifer, Gwyneth & Me press lately, too (thanks Glamour!) and I’ve put readings on the schedule for Chicago and Boston. Which is to say… things are happening!
And speaking of Jennifers, I just learned that one of my other Jennifer role models—Ms. Garner (she’s Chapter 5!)—is starring in the movie version of one of the all-time great children’s books, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. And I didn’t know I could love her anymore.
So, folks, weigh in: Garner, love or hate? And are you as excited for July—sunshine!!—as I?

From Chicago living in Boston while my partner is in b-school and I’m halfway through your book as I prepare myself for a friend-finding summer! So sad you’ll be in Boston while I’m visiting Chicago! Like planes passing in the sky…
Already bought your book – I can’t wait!
Love! Love! Love! Jennifer Garner! and Alexander was read nightly around here for many years!
