And then what happened was that she became a wild-pregnant-mammal-thing and then she exploded herself by having a whole baby blast through her vagina during a global plague and then she was expected to carry on like everything was normal—but was this normal, and had she or anything ever been normal?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHerein lies an account of this journey, told in five phases—Single, True Love, Pregnancy, Baby, and Ongoing—through luminous, laugh-out-loud funny, unclassifiable essays that take the form of letters to a doctor, dreams of a stork, fantasy therapy sessions, gossip between racoons, excerpts from an imaginary olden timey play, obituaries, theories about post-partum hair loss, graduation speeches, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo one writes like Jenny Slate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Please allow 2-4 days for book orders to ship.
