{"product_id":"9781429587273","title":"Microthrills","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Raised in Manhattan by her tiny sex-therapist mother and her two eccentric grandparents, Wendy Spero has always sought excitement in \"\"microthrills,\"\" the small, strange highs that give her life meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer story begins in the one-bedroom, Upper East Side apartment she shared with her overly protective mother, where, as a little girl, she passed the time gnawing on strawberry-scented erasers, breaking up arguments between her imaginary friends, and being subjected to cut-throat nursery school applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEventually, Wendy broke out on her own - but continued to be admonished by her mother for not having enough quality orgasms. After a stint of door-to-door knife-selling, she began her first (and last) office job, where she formed an unusual relationship with her big-time executive boss - one that involved as much pot smoking and gold glitter as it did mentoring. Now, a comedian living in L.A., Wendy grapples with such grown-up issues as trying to kick her addiction to eating candy in bed, parenting dozens of high-maintenance stuffed animals, and finally learning how to drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSure to be loved by fans of David Sedaris and Laurie Notaro, this hilarious, offbeat, and, at times, touching book marks the debut of a fresh, new nonfiction voice, and one that won't soon be forgotten.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Group (USA), Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47095035003120,"sku":"9781429587273","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781429587273_p0.jpg?v=1763746007","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781429587273","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
