About the Author Amy Ferris is an author, a screenwriter, and an editor. She lives in Pennsylvania with her delightful (and very patient) husband Ken.
A fast, relatable read. I was done before I knew it and left with a wistful notion there might be more. Sigh I loved this book, the perfect read for my 10th anniversary trip with my husband, both of us in our 50s and finally settling into something that feels almost golden. When I laughed uncontrollably, which was often, my husband looked over with a raised eyebrow. Since we were on the airplane, I mouthed "later" and went back to my immersion in the emotionally rollicking and terrifyingly close to truth moments. I worked my way through this book like a bowl. TFH said Like looking in a (fun house) mirror.. I'm so glad I'm not Amy Ferris, except when I am, which is when I'm being bold, courageous, outrageous, and deeply, scary honest. Marrying George Clooney is not for sissies; it's for the rest of us, so we can squirm with recognition, lament a world that doesn't get us, snort-laugh at our absurdity, and feel that relief that comes with knowing we are not alone. Ferris also happens to write well - a bonus these days. So if you want to explore your own . Lisa said Read This Book!. Amy Ferris is an incredible writer and the dearest of souls. She plucks the truth from the collective minds of all women and speaks it with humor, vulnerability and verve. I adore this woman and her words.
From googling old boyfriends to researching obscure and fatal diseases on the web; from scouting five-star spa destinations to having angry, bitter, e-mail exchanges with her brother. She worries endlessly about her husband, relies heavily on Ambien, and tries to arrange care via the Internet for her mother (who has both severe dementia and a massive love-bubble crush on Jesus Christ)—all while refraining from lighting up just one more cigarette. While wide awake in the middle of the night (welcome to menopause!), Amy Ferris began chronicling every one of her funny, sad, hysterical, down and dirty, and raw to the bones stories. Marrying George Clooney explores a range of emotions experienced through this life-altering period. Along with fantasizing about marrying George Clooney, Ferris is faced with a plethora of other insomnia-induced thoughts and activities. In this candid look at "the change," Ferris offers a humorous spin on a not-so-funny topic.
