Ali Wentworth on the loose
Whatever and wherever Ali Wentworth do in her personal life, one thing is certain: she finds an amusing way to narrate her own little story with some “personal” detail. This is an uproarious collection of essays of her absurd and hilarious memoir. Ranging from the raucous to the romantic. Whether she’s experiencing lust or sharing her own failures, she make us feel down right at home. She is mischievous, friendly and playful.
She spent most of her life rebelling against her upbringing. She says, if her mom was a hooker, she would be a Rhodes Scholar; or if her mother was a Rhodes Scholar, she would be hooker. Once she turned down an offer from the Playboy magazine for a photoshoot more for an aesthetic reason than for the moral qualms. However, she amused herself by telling to her mother about the offer.
Her marriage to ABC Network’s “Good Morning America” anchor George Stephanopoulos is a successful one but she also bemuses on some serious stuff like when her daughter walking in on them having sex as a teachable moment! In the chapter on “Hugs and not drugs” she tells her daughters that she experimented with a controlled substance and her daughters don’t have to because she has already shown them numerous documentaries about its ill effects! While on the subject of first sex experience, there is a detailed chapter with the title “Happy and preppy and bursting with love.” Two days after the sexual encounter she goes to Georgetown University Hospital, with her boyfriend named Chad, assuming that she is giving birth just two days after sex. It wasn’t a happy and preppy experience to learn from the doctor that she had some bleeding due to sex and nothing more!
Ali Wentworth is a gorgeous woman and amazingly talented writer. She takes on the world, one day at a time. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.
