Ever fall for the lure of expensive, exotic moisturizers promising impossible anti-aging miracles? Ever receive one of those happy, sappy New Year's letters from someone you barely remember from fourth grade? Can't decide whether to stay friends with a size two woman who won't eat a carrot because of its high-carb content?

If so, you're in good company. Award-winning humorist and Bikram yoga dropout Judy Gruen copes with all this and more in The Women's Daily Irony Supplement. Her riffs on female obsessions, motherhood, men, and why a woman's home is her hassle are candid, fresh, and surprisingly intimate. Reading these comic gems is guaranteed to improve the health of every woman, because laughter releases endorphins!

Starbucks® has chosen to feature a quip from the book on 5 million cups this May.
