What was a hard sell was getting the kindle version, as I have an allergic reaction to e-readers. I prefer my books to come in the form of cold, dead trees.I'd just come off what I'd hesitate describing as a "successful" download of the first 100 pages free from another [unrelated author/title] I'd advance-ordered. I had also been plugging away at another "mommy" book which was a slog at best, and infuriatingly inaccurate, as it was written by...a man. I was fortunate to be able to finish Jen's masterpiece while waiting for my son's football practice today, on a national holiday, when most families are traveling or enjoying the long weekend, but lo, because the coach believes in the importance of this game above all else, I had nothing but time.This was a refreshing departure from the contrived and trying all-too-hard approach of those who churn out books because they "are writers" whose editors bark deadline demands, destroying their creativity and stripping the authenticity of their voice from their work.It's a voice that is genuine and unapologetic, one you know bursts confidently forth from a woman who loves her family whole heartedly (but who will admit they drive her nuts on the regular), and who values the depth of her friendships based on a mutual lack of nonsense and a love for a good glass of wine in yoga pants without bras any night of the week.It's believable, relatable, and validating. It's offensive in all the right places.I want the hardcopy for my bookshelf now.Jen Mann and I may possibly have been separated at birth. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars It's great fun! *by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2015* This was just what I needed. As a former English teacher turned librarian, I find myself often bogged down in "academia" and heavy texts. I realized that they can sometimes bring a person down (at least that happens to me). Deciding I needed something lighter and less serious, I found this little nugget by Jen Mann. I laughed out loud. I nodded my head. I felt lighter. This was my girl! I had had these thoughts, lived these experiences, and thought these thoughts. I just hadn't written about them--nor could I write them as eloquently and honestly. I love Jen Mann's voice. It's real. She's someone I could hang out with. There's a "common-woman" to this piece, and I think that's one great thing going for it, but at the same time, her unique voice calls you in.It's just fun! And there's something to be said for someone who can all bring us back to reality with a smile! ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars I really liked it. I was just really disappointed *by K***I on Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2016* Here's the thing about this book, I really liked it. I was just really disappointed. I don't want to say that it was too short, but there is something to say about the length and the way that the book ended. It left me wishing that there was more of a tie-in. Each chapter represented this great story about raising kids in in a very cliquey neighborhood, with the moms that we all know and see at Target. Or dealing with political issues that are unpopular with the rest of the population. Or showing up anywhere in an outfit that produces disgust.But at the end of the book, I had to think, well what about it?If this book sold itself as a series of essays I might not be so harsh. But it doesn't really. I've recently read a few different memoirs and they still connected at the end in some way. I didn't feel it in this book. For me most of the purpose of writing is to discover what the writing is trying to tell you. To discover what all of these memories have in common, what might be a theme. And when I say theme I don't mean it as in hokey or trite. I mean that there is this overarching element that ties all the writing together. I think that this is especially essential for memoirs. Non-fiction writing needs something to make it more than diary entries, especially if they are going to publish it in book form.I know that this particular author had a blog. I'm not demeaning blogs in any sense, I think that they are a perfectly legitimate form of writing.But if they are going to format their writing into a book, I expect it to have more book like format. I don't expect to buy a book and have it read like a blog entry.I just want to say again that I'm not trying to be harsh, but without spoiling the book I want to make my disappointment clear. I really like the authors writing style and her voice was fantastic. I think that's why I'm so disappointed. There was a lot of potential in for this novel, but it just fell short for me. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/5279809-people-i-want-to-punch-in-the-throat-competitive-crafters](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/5279809-people-i-want-to-punch-in-the-throat-competitive-crafters) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
