New Releases by Kate Siegel

"Kate Friedman-Siegel, writer, social media guru, and spawn of @CrazyJewishMom actually counted the number of text messages she gets from her mom and came up with. . .111. A day. On average. Realizing these daily conversations were too rich to keep to herself, she launched the Instagram account @CrazyJewishMom in November of 2014, which now has more than 830k followers. Each page of the Actual Texts from My Crazy Jewish Mom 2018 Day-to-Day Calendar features a bit of Mom''s advice such as "no ring on the finger, you must not linger," "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WEAR UR FULL BODY SPANX," and "fries before guys, career before everything." Your mom doesn''t have to be crazy, in constant contact, or even Jewish for you to appreciate the often snarky, likely inappropriate, and always laugh out loud funny, actual texts between Kate and her mom. As an added bonus, the back of each page includes daily extra content such as puzzles, jokes, lists, quotes, activities, tips, and trivia"--

Based on the wildly popular Instagram account @CrazyJewishMom, Kate Siegel''s essay collection about life with the woman who redefined the term "helicopter mom." There is nothing more wonderful than a mother’s love. There is also nothing more annoying. Who else can proudly insist that you’re perfect while simultaneously making you question every career, fashion, and relationship decision you have ever made? No one understands the delicate mother-daughter dynamic better than Kate Siegel—her own mother drove her so crazy that she decided to broadcast their hilarious conversations on Instagram. Soon, hundreds of thousands of people were following their daily text exchanges, eager to see what outrageous thing Kate’s mom would do next. Now, in Mother, Can You NOT?, Kate pays tribute to the woman who invented the concept of drone parenting. From embarrassing moments (like crashing Kate''s gynecological exams) to outrageous stories (like the time she made Kate steal a cat from the pound) to hilarious celebrations (including but not limited to parties for Kate''s menstrual cycles), Mother, Can you NOT? lovingly lampoons the lengths to which our mothers will go to better our lives (even if it feels like they’re ruining them in the process).
