A New York Times Best Seller! By the actress, writer, and one of the funniest women on Twitter, an outrageous, hysterical memoir of acting on impulse, plotting elaborate hoaxes, and refusing to acknowledge boundaries in any form Jenny Mollen is an actress and writer living in Los Angeles. She is also a wife, married to a famous guy (which is annoying only because he gets free shit and she doesn't). She doesn't want much from life. Just to be loved—by everybody: her parents, her dogs, her ex-boyfriends, her ex-boyfriends' dogs, her husband, her husband's ex-girlfriends, her husband's ex-girlfriend's new boyfriends, etc. Some people might call that impulse crazy, but isn't "crazy" really just a word boring people use to describe fun people? (And Jenny is really, really fun, you guys!) In these pages, you'll find stories of Jenny at her most genuine, whether it's stalking her therapist (because he knows everything about her so shouldn't she get to know everything about him?); throwing a bachelorette party so bad that one of the guests is suspected dead; or answering the eternal question, Would your best friend blow your husband on a car ride to dinner if she didn't know you were hiding in the backseat? I Like You Just the Way I Am is about not doing the right thing—about indulging your inner crazy-person. It is Jenny when she's not trying to impress anyone or come across as a responsible, level-headed member of society. With any luck it will make you better acquainted with who you really are and what you really want. Which, let's be honest, is most likely someone else's email password.

ジェニー・モーレンの本作は、現代社会が強いる「良識」という仮面を剥ぎ取り、人間の深淵に潜む愛すべき狂気を曝け出した傑作です。承認欲求や執着といった、誰もが隠し持つ感情をあえて過剰に描く筆致は驚くほど軽妙。読者の倫理観を揺さぶりながらも、自己を解放する心地よさを提供してくれます。 魅力の本質は、徹底した自己客観視による「魂のさらけ出し」にあります。境界線を踏み越え続ける彼女の姿は滑稽ですが、同時にありのままの自分を愛してほしいと願う切実な渇望を映し出しています。偽善を笑い飛ばし、心の奥底にある本音を肯定する本書は、閉塞感を打破する究極の自由への賛歌といえるでしょう。
