Jenny Mollen is a writer and actress living in New York. Until two years ago, her lifewas exciting, sexy, a little eccentric, and onehundred percent impulsive. She had a husbandwho embraced her crazy-who understood herneed to occasionally stalk around the house inhis ex-girlfriend's old beach caftans and toinvite their drug dealer to Passover seder (so hewouldn't feel like they were using him only fordrugs).
Then they had their son, Sid, and overnight, Jenny was forced to grow up: to beresponsible, to brush her hair, to listen to her voicemail.
Live Fast Die Hot is a collection of storiesabout what happens when you realize that somethings are more important than crafting the perfect tweet. It follows Jenny to Morocco, where she embarks on a quest to prove to herself that she can travel alone without reenacting a Descriptionline from Taken. It shows herconfronting demons-most of them from childhood, a few from the spirit realm. And it culminates in Peru, where Jenny decides that maybe the cure for her anxiety as a mom lies at the bottom of a cup of ayahuasca.
Hilarious, outlandish, and surprisingly affecting, Live Fast Die Hot reminds you that even if you aren't cut out for parenting, at leastyou can be better at it than your mother.
