And you do not bore, because you have wits.

I have already gifted your book to two people; my sister-in-law and my eldest daughter, who has been a writer since her first story about Midge (a gerbil whose talent was hopping and popping). Sounds like you’re having a ‘Midge moment’🤣🤣🤣🤣 We’re all laughing out loud at every chapter, which has been raising a lot of eyebrows in public spaces when we’re listening…because we just can’t put the audiobook down!!!🥰🥰❤️❤️

I, too, am loving the audiobook! Think I'll need to make a few audiobook gifts to my crew - thanks for the suggestion, Ellen! <3

It’s harder to share ice cream, but this book is every bit as delicious and is meant to be shared!❤️

I’m half way through. Torn between charging on because it’s a great ride and trying to savor it for a while. 4 stars

Your book is exactly what America needs right now - a victory against the Orange Pustule! I finished it a couple of days ago and it gave me hope (and several cases of the giggles), which is a scarce commodity nowadays.

Raced through the e-book version of 'Not My Type' -- an emotional roller coaster ride that took me from the depths of disgust and dread .... to howling laughter at the absurdity and clownishness of DJT and his 'team.'

After that trip, I'm ready -- as you surely must be -- to enjoy a big bowl of 'just deserts'!

Lord, you DESERVE to have fun, our beloved Jean! I have two copies of Not My Type (one to keep, one to give to a lucky friend). You are the bravest, most surprising and, of course, MOST FABULOUS writer I know!

I started your book last night. I am blown away by Robbie and all her practice trials.. AND how much it mattered then and now, how you looked, how was your hair? Wow. I love how you contrast your team with Trump's. The Alima stuff is hilarious, and Dr Leslie's stuff made me cry. Love you, E JEAN! Thank you for this incredible book.

Thunderstorms yesterday, what better time to read.

All 344 pages were completely finished in time for dinner!

I couldn't put it down, much to my dogs displeasure. Kidding, three were on the loveseat with me & two with their heads under it.

I talk about your incredible book to Everyone.

It’s lively and upbeat, and your marvelous humor and light shine through.

I took a bit of an intermission after finishing your sobering testimony. It was very straight forward, but still… hard to read. I’m sad you went through that.

While it’s true the actual trial was only about you, YOU (regal angel), made it about every woman.

Thank you for writing this book. Thank you for giving us all hope and elegant giggles.
