Publisher Description

The star of Bravo’s new comedy Odd Mom Out and author of The Ex Mrs. Hedgefund and Wolves in Chic Clothing firmly believes in Woody Allen’s magical math equation: Comedy = Tragedy + Time. Sometimes I Feel Like a Nut is a delightful collection of essays and observations based on Jill Kargman’s family, her phobias (vans, mimes, clowns), and her ability to use humor as a tool to get past life’s obstacles, making the fun times funnier and the tough times bearable. Fans of David Sedaris, Sloane Crosley, and Nora Ephron will rejoice, howl, and sympathize

"I love folks with a wacky sense of humor, who can get through rough spots in life and always see the demented side. Jill Kargman definitely fills that bill. In SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE A NUT, she steps away from her best-selling beach reads to write about her reflections on her life thus far. She shares her tales of being a mistfit in her East Coast prep school ("Wednesday Addams in Barbieland") to a beloved apartment in New York where she did a lot of real growing up to married life with kids, crazy nannies, and Momzillas. Even her experience dealing with a skin cancer diagnosis is addressed, and she's very candid about what she went through and the scars it left behind. If you're a fan of Chelsea Handler's bawdy humor, I have a feeling you'll go nuts for this book."

    " This memoir was SUPER irreverant which I love, but only if it's balanced with some heart, and this didn't really have that. Funny in parts, but not that great. A super quick read for the train though. It's very short. "

    " This had some great, funny moments, but overall it felt like Kargman was trying too hard. Some of the essays didn't really go anywhere and there were too many cutesy abbreviations ("'teria" for "bacteria"? really?) for my taste. "

    " Even if you don't know the woman who wrote this essay collection, you know the woman who wrote this essay collection. She proclaims herself "a gay man trapped in a woman's body" (but is put off by lesbians with their "mullets and shoe boots"), uses words like "freakage," and has sassy friends who say "You're back!" when, after a sad spell, she starts singing songs from Hedwig and the Angry Inch loudly on the street like a fucking ninth grade drama club member on their first trip to New York. She is, in short, The Worst. I did not enjoy spending 172 pages with her, even if they were pretty large print in a very small book. "
