In this instant New York Times bestseller thatâs âboldly funny without being anti-momâ (In Touch), comedian and Chelsea Lately regular Jen Kirkman champions every womanâs right to follow her own pathâeven if that means being âchildfree by choice.â
In her debut memoir, actress and comedian Jen Kirkman delves into her off-camera life with the same snarky sensitivity and oddball humor she brings to her sold-out standup shows and the Chelsea Lately roundtable, where she is a writer and regular performer. As a woman of a certain age who has no desire to start a family, Jen often finds herself confronted (by friends, family, and total strangers) about her decision to be âchildfree by choice.â I Can Barely Take Care of Myself offers honest and hilarious responses to questions like âWho will take care of you when you get old?â (Servants!) and a peek into the psycheâand weird and wonderful lifeâof a woman who has always marched to the beat of a different drummer and is pretty sure sheâs not gonna change her mind, but thanks for your concern.

Relatable and a good book if you don't want to have kids, otherwise I can imagine it might be a provocation. Not as funny as her stand-up and a bit monotonous reading voice.
