I'm Sorry You Feel That Way: The Astonishing but True Story of a Daughter, Sister, Slut,Wife, Mother, and Fri end to Man and Dog - Softcover
Synopsis
An Entertainment Weekly "must"-"It's hard to recall another collection of essays, or a memoir, with more natural charm."
Surrounded by dysfunctional men-from her fourteen-year-old son to her high-maintenance boss-Diana Joseph did what she had to do: survive. I'm Sorry You Feel That Way is an honest, hilarious, and instantly recognizable memoir of a truly modern woman. Funny, fearless, and warmhearted, it is a portrait of a woman in all her endless complexities and contradictions, and of the people she has come to love in spite of-or rather because of-theirs.

From Booklist
A rite of passage for many teens is the sex talk. For debut memoirist Joseph, it was the “slut” talk administered by her hard-edged father. “See, what happens is sometimes a girl will go with this one, and then she’ll go with that one, and then she thinks, what the hell, that one there doesn’t look so bad, why not go with that one, too,” he’d opine as he pulled on an unfiltered Lucky. In the years that followed, Joseph’s life was peppered with prickly relationships with the opposite sex, from boyfriends so icky they became woeful stories recounted over strawberry margaritas to an ex-husband who broke her heart (but still fixes her brakes). She buys her son a doll to put him in touch with his feminine side but later decides she’d rather groom him to be the next Bruce Springsteen. Joseph’s mordant sense of humor helps her make hay from harrowing life experiences. But there are poignant moments here, too, where emotional pain is played for more than just laughs. --Allison Block
