Are you looking for a laugh? Then look no further than The Women's Daily Irony Supplement. This hilarious collection of essays covers topics from forwarding e-mail (who can’t relate?), bad contractors, holidays, purse fever, men, motherhood, and pop culture. Nothing is safe from Judy Gruen’s ability to poke fun and find the humor in even the direst of circumstances.

Her easy writing style draws the reader in, yet the essays are short enough to read when one only has a moment for a pick-me-up. It’s difficult to put the book down, though, because you will want to read on to find out what other mundane things Gruen has poked fun at that you can identify with.

I read quite a few passages out loud to my husband, whom I caught picking the book up when I put it down for a moment. The essays will awaken some nostalgia in the reader but are also filled with current events that will leave you chuckling. If you want a laugh or a great gift for someone in your family, The Women's Daily Irony Supplement is funny, engaging, and the perfect light entertainment when you’re feeling blue.
