Synopsis

“Wentworth spins hilarious tales of parenting, relationships and, yes, getting older.” — PeopleThe actress, comedian, media darling, and New York Times bestselling author picks up where she left off in Ali in Wonderland, dissecting modern life—and this time, on a mission of self-improvement—in a series of laugh-out-loud comic vignettes.Moved by a particularly inspirational tweet one day, Ali Wentworth resolves to live by the pithy maxims she discovers in her feeds. What begins as a sort of self-help project quickly turns into something far grander—and increasingly funnier—as the tweets she once viewed with irony become filled with increasing metaphysical importance. And thus begins her “Unhappiness Project.”It’s not long before Ali expands her self-improvement quest to include parenting, relationship, fitness (or lack thereof), and dieting advice. The results are painfully (at times literally) clear: when it comes to self-help, sometimes you should leave it to the professionals.At once endearing and hilarious, thoughtful and absurd, Happily Ali After is a thoroughly entertaining collection from “the girlfriend you want to have a glass of wine with, the one who makes you laugh because she sees the funny and the absurd in everything” (Huffington Post).

Goodreads review by Suzzie on May 23, 2019

I really enjoyed this Ali book even more than I did her first book. There were some very entertaining stories and I love how she does not sugar coat and how she tells her stories in a manner than does not always paint a perfect image of her. It’s refreshing to read. Can’t wait to read her third book......more

Goodreads review by Mediaman on September 20, 2015

Wentworth has a problem--on paper she is neither funny nor interesting, yet she is a spoiled rich kid who married a famous guy and now gets to publish books about a rather dull life that few of us can relate to. The woman is just not fascinating enough to have a second book about her life. Much of t......more

Goodreads review by Vivienne on October 03, 2015

Mildly humorous tales by a slightly self-deprecating somewhat celebrity. Difficult to relate to someone privileged enough to jet set to Iceland and Spain (complain about both places) and whine that her parents never took her to Disneyland or any other tacky theme park.......more

Goodreads review by David on August 25, 2015

slightly better than the horrible Jen Lancaster book i picked up at library a while back, but I have to add "people who use their name in silly titles" to my new list of warning signs that a purportedly funny book is not that funny. occasionally made me smile (e.g., when her tween daughter dramatical......more

This is the beach book of the summer! Make yourself an icy gin and tonic and stretch out on that beach chair. You will laugh out loud and identify more than a little w/ Ali's hysterical insights. Hilariously wonderful! A summer reading list must!......more
