Product Information
NATIONAL BESTSELLER A charmingly relatable and wise memoir-in-essays by acclaimed writer and bookseller Mary Laura Philpott, " the modern day reincarnation of ... Nora Ephron, Erma Bombeck, Jean Kerr, and Laurie Colwin -- all rolled into one " ( The Washington Post ), about what happened after she checked off all the boxes on a successful life ' s to-do list and realized she might need to reinvent the list-- and herself. Mary Laura Philpott thought she'd cracked the code: Always be right, and you'll always be happy. But once she'd completed her life's to-do list (job, spouse, house, babies--check!), she found that instead of feeling content and successful, she felt anxious. Lost. Stuck in a daily grind of overflowing calendars, grueling small talk, and sprawling traffic. She'd done everything "right" but still felt all wrong. What's the worse failure, she wondered: smiling and staying the course, or blowing it all up and running away? And are those the only options? Taking on the conflicting pressures of modern adulthood, Philpott provides a "frank and funny look at what happens when, in the midst of a tidy life, there occur impossible-to-ignore tugs toward creativity, meaning, and the possibility of something more" ( Southern Living ). She offers up her own stories to show that identity crises don't happen just once or only at midlife and reassures us that small, recurring personal re-inventions are both normal and necessary. Most of all, in this "warm embrace of a life lived imperfectly" (Esquire), Philpott shows that when you stop feeling satisfied with your life, you don't have to burn it all down. You can call upon your many selves to figure out who you are, who you're not, and where you belong. Who among us isn't trying to do that? "Be forewarned that you'll laugh out loud and cry, probably in the same essay. Philpott has a wonderful way of finding humor, even in darker moments. This is a book you'll want to buy for yourself and every other woman you know" ( Real Simple ).

Reviews
Her collection of essays reads like a brutally honest conversation with your most relatable friend. It'll make you feel infinitely less alone., Mary Laura Philpott is relentlessly funny, self-effacing and charming as she tells the story of living as a Triple A Plus Perfectionist. Everything in her life is done on time and exactly right, until, of course, it all starts to fall apart. In her willingness to tell her own story, she taps into a universal truth for so many women: we plan to do it all until we find we can't do anything anymore. I Miss You When I Blink made me laugh, it made me cry. I miss it already., There aren't many books that have made me tear up from both laughing and crying - on the same page. Mary Laura Philpott's essays truly capture the emotional pull of mothering beyond the baby stage - coexisting, for some, with a midlife crisis-esque period., Be forewarned that you'll laugh out loud and cry, probably in the same essay.

Spoiler: happiness ahead.", Laugh-out-loud funny....Mary laura Philpott's hilarious and comforting essay collection will reassure women questioning their abilities and choices., One of Esquire 's Best Nonfiction Books of the Year One of NPR's Favorite Books of the Year One of Lit Hub's Best Books of 2019 One of the year's Most Anticipated Books: BuzzFeed, Bustle, HelloGiggles, LitHub, She Reads, Mary Laura Philpott is relentlessly funny, self-effacing and charming as she tells the story of living as a triple-A-plus Perfectionist. Everything in her life is done on time and exactly right, until, of course, it all starts to fall apart. In her willingness to tell her own story, she taps into a universal truth for so many women: We plan to do it all until we find we can't do anything anymore.

This book is inspiring for those of us with small children underfoot and forty close on the horizon. Mary Laura is a generous and funny guide to the midlife conundrums., I Miss You When I Blink is a delightful, thought-provoking collection of essays, written with such spark and vulnerability that I was alternately laughing out loud and gasp-sighing at its poignancy. Mary Laura Philpott shows us her real, flawed self in these pages, sharing when she's made mistakes, when she's been less than charitable, or when she wasn't sure who she was 'supposed' to be. It's easy to connect with her honesty, and damn fun to laugh at her jokes. This book is totally irresistible!, Mary Laura Philpott is a writer, artist, and creator of singular spark and delight. I adore her, and I love her work. Thank God she has finally written a memoir! By offering these delightful dispatches from her own life experience, she leaves us thinking about ourselves -- where we've been, where we're going, and who we really want to be., "The Best Books of 2019 to Add to Your Reading List: What happens when you get exactly the life you wanted and realize you want something completely different? You could run away from home ... or you can make like Philpot, who's been called 'the modern-day reincarnation"'of authors Nora Ephron and Erma Bombeck, and enact some mini life changes that pay off in major happiness.", Witty, and poignant, and a page-turner... If you have even one type-a bone in your body, it'll leave you nodding your head, and--forgive the crude appropriation C.S. Lewis--but thinking, 'What! You too? I thought that no one but myself.', A funny and self-effacing memoir-in-essays from a bookseller who thought she had her whole life figured out (and had done everything right and gotten everything she wanted) only to wake up one day and realize that . . . she hadn't. Relatable!, By injecting dire moments with self-effacing irony and slapstick humor, Philpott simultaneously provides levity and illuminates the tragi-comic nature of modern American life, wherein even the most fortunate of us struggle with a search for meaning. 'I Miss You When I Blink' is a generous collection, written as if to say 'I see you; you are not alone' to the many readers who lead outwardly happy lives yet privately wonder why they don't feel as happy or fulfilled as the world tells them they should., Philpott offers wisdom about finding happiness even if your life isn't quite the hair-raising adventure you'd envisioned., I've spent my adult life prowling bookshelves for the modern day reincarnation of my favorite authors--Nora Ephron, Erma Bombeck, Jean Kerr, and Lawrie Colwin--all rolled into one....Good news: I have finally found their successor....refreshingly honest and funny...her real gift lies in making the connection between the small moments and the big ones, so you feel you've walked into a complicated, glittering web...delicious., "In her memoir-in-essays, acclaimed writer Mary Laura Philpott addresses the conflicting pressures of modern adulthood and that inevitable "stuck" feeling so many of us become familiar with. Part confessional, part pep talk, I Miss You When I Blink is a reassuring read about learning how to accept that doing things wrong can be the way to do life right.", Checking boxes doesn't automatically equal happiness. Sometimes, you can do everything 'right,' like getting married and having kids, and still want more. With titles like 'Ungrateful Bitch' and 'A Letter to the Extremely Type A Person in Distress,' Mary Laura Philpott's essays will remind you that it's okay to reinvent yourself--no grueling three-month hike required., At once rueful, hilarious, brave, and inspiring, I Miss You When I Blink is beautifully relatable and reassuring, even as it makes you pause and think.

Mary Laura Philpott is going to make a whole lot of readers feel seen and understood., Mary Laura Philpott is relentlessly funny, self-effacing and charming as she tells the story of living as a triple-A-plus perfectionist.
