Dedication

 

 

This book is for every woman who has been taught that perfection is obligatory.

What a load of bullshit.

You are fabulous—warts, burps, trips and all.

Give ‘em hell, my courageous sisters.

 

And to our beautiful, bad-girl cat Paprika, who left us recently.

Seventeen years ago, we were put in a dank room and interrogated mercilessly in order to adopt you.

Totally worth it.
