Unabrow: Misadventures of a Late Bloomer

Description

Growing up, Una LaMarche was as smart as she was awkward. She was blessed with a precocious intellect, a love of all things pop-culture and a seriously bushy monobrow. Adversity (and plucking) made her stronger and funnier, and now Una has written a hilarious take on the coming-of-age genre by doling out all the advice she wishes her mother had given her. Described as the literary lovechild of Nora Ephron (who wrote When Harry Met Sally) and Jenny Lawson (infamous blogger at The Bloggess), LaMarche is sure to find a receptive audience in anyone who likes to laugh.

UNA LAMARCHEis an award-winning journalist and blogger. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband and son.

"Hilarious, poignant, deceptively 'light'... well worth reading for the reflection and laughter it provokes in equal and utterly enjoyable measures."-Chicago Tribune "A combo of quirky humor and rich fantasy life throughout this collection of 20 essays, which are interspersed with hilarious graphs, cartoons, and line drawings... LaMarche is entertaining and fresh; readers will want to savor this sassy, offbeat commentary."-Publishers Weekly Praise for Una LaMarche: "Hilarious and spot-on."-F*cked in Park Slope A best humor blog of the year, 2013-Babble.com "A hilarious memoir. With an impeccable sense of humor, LaMarche guides us through her misadventures and serves up invaluable insights."-Sarah Barron, author of People Are Unappealing "If you have suffered the indignity of growing up female in America, you will love Una LaMarche. She is the kind of lady who will admit that she typed "BUTT DISAPPEARED!" into Google, and that is the kind of lady who deserves your time."-Jessica Grose, author of Sad Desk Salad "Take the cast of 'Bridesmaids,' add a dash of pre-pubescent Eugene Levy, and you have the humor stylings of the inimitable Una LaMarche. I adore this book."-Ann Imig, founder of Listen to Your Mother "Una La Marche owns up to everything you probably still wouldn't admit-and she does it with laugh-out-loud style."-Amy Wilson, author of When Did I Get Like This?
