📚 This Might Be Too Personal by Alyssa Shelasky: This collection of autobiographical essays met every expectation I had from the editor of New York Magazine’s “Sex Lives” column. Many stories read like Alanis Morrisette’s definition of ironic (It’s like meeeeeeting a great guy… when you’re very pregnant), all with a hilarious candor and a deep appreciation for the beauty in life and motherhood’s messiness. Also loved her essay on Cup of Jo last month!
