by Joan Rivers
First published 2014
Joan Rivers stares at the diary her daughter Melissa gave her for Christmas. She feels insulted. Does Melissa think she's some pathetic character like Bridget Jones? But Joan starts writing anyway. She has opinions about everything and everyone. Her entries chronicle family trips to Mexico and constant travel between New York and Los Angeles. She meets celebrities and delivers savage critiques of current events. No topic escapes her razor-sharp commentary. Pop culture figures from A-list stars to D-list nobodies become targets for her wit. Joan's diary entries reveal the daily thoughts of someone who refuses to hold back. Her observations cut deep but make readers laugh. The diary becomes her outlet for the relentless commentary that defines her personality. Through these pages, Joan proves that her signature style translates perfectly to the intimate format of a personal journal.
