I finished this book in about 3 hours this afternoon. If You Have to Cry, Go Outside: And Other Things Your Mother Never Told You by Kelly Cutrone, Meredith Bryan I have seen about 5 minutes of Kelly Cutrone’s show on TV so I only vaguely knew who she was - a very successful fashion PR woman who is generally thought of as being a bit of a bitch. I mistakenly thought this book was a memoir.  It does describe her life but it’s mostly full of advice from a woman who has ‘made it’ to young women just stepping out of college.  In other words, it was not really aimed at someone like me who is a fair way up the corporate ladder already.  But if you are aged 20 - 24 and intent on a successful career then there is no harm in giving this book a whirl.  I give it one thumb up. I really do enjoy a good memoir so if you have any good recommendations, please send them my way.

  1. courtmarie said: can i just say i am impressed and how fast you read all these books?! i feel like you read 3/week!
  2. alexash said: The Liar’s Club by Mary Karr and The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls—both amazing memoirs!
  3. hellahotmess said: helmut newton’s autobiography is pretty great. i was kind of obsessed with him when i was in college (when i read it), so it’s been a while but i remember really enjoying it. he is one of my favorite photographers.
  4. lovelorn said: Trail of Crumbs by Kim Sunee
  5. krisanthemum said: A light memoir: anything by Jen Lancaster (Such a Pretty Fat was my fave). Otherwise: Look Me in the Eye by John Elder Robison. He gives great insight into the minds of people with Asperger’s. Both are popular so you may have already read them
  6. snazzified said: I liked Twenty Chickens for a Saddle by Robyn Scott. It’s a memoir of of the author’s unusual upbringing by hippie parents in Botswana. It took a bit to get used to, but Iended up really enjoying it and even wrote to the author. She wrote back. :-)

    a couple days, and...to say Cutrone said...lot that...
  8. callielion said: The Glass Castle by Jeaneatte Walls was a really enjoyable read, although it’s kind of sad. Its about her experience with her incredibly hippie parents and all of their broken promises.
  9. subtlenights said: I really enjoyed Michael J Fox’s Always looking up. Have you read that yet? It’s sad at times but worth the read.
  10. belbyv said: The memoirs I have read are: The Glass Castle, I Love Yous are for White People (which is about a vietnamese boy growing up in CA) and A Long Way Gone, which is about a boy who was a soldier in Sierra Leone, it was a tough read but very good!
  11. monkeychow said: If you don’t mind memoirs about a little boy growing up in South Philly then you should check out Everything is Wrong with Me by Jason Mulgrew (my boyfriend). It’s a quick, funny read. And I’m not just saying that! www.tiny…
