What Readers Say About MIJMMN (Good Stuff!)
I'm lucky enough to be surrounded by a cast of avid readers, writers, creatives, and friends who were willing to read different variations of my book. I am honored. And they liked it! Here's what they had to say:
“Marnie's book is frank, brutal and brave. Read it. It will make you a better person." ~ Stephanie Miller, Digital Marketing Consulting
“Block out the day because once you pick this book up, you won’t put it down. Aulabaugh’s sometimes tearful, sometimes joyful, but always unflinchingly honest journey through breast cancer is a must read for anyone seeking compassion and companionship during a challenging time.” ~ Cassandra Kaldor
“Is it acceptable to read about cancer and find yourself laughing? If not, don’t get this book. Marnie walks us through her experience of breast cancer, from the first twinge of suspicion, through diagnosis, treatment, and 10-year anniversary cancer-free. It’s a “girlfriend’s guide” with all the warmth, outrage, depth, jagged edges, exposed soft spots, intelligence, luminosity and yes, even humor, of Marnie herself.” ~ Leigh Quirk, soul sister
“A thoroughly modern memoir! Marnie Aulabaugh chronicles her daily life with cancer and delivers it in a very Instagram-Meets-Twitter-meets-Listicles way. Mostly, I Just Miss My Nipples is a must-read by anyone affected by cancer — #EVERYONE.” ~ CathyLeary, a sometimes foul-mouthed friend and Marnie’s former co-worker at The Wall Street Journal
“The juxtaposition of public, perky, can-do list maker and private contemplator leads to the poignant line: “but mostly I just miss my nipples.” A must-read!” ~ Kristine H Moe
“Reading this book not only made me love Marnie more — it was emotional! But it also served as a very practical guide for how to best proceed should you find yourself in a similar situation as a patient or caregiver. I loved the bullet-pointed mantras going in and out of surgery!” ~ Amy Conroy
“Such an honest, heartfelt book! If you have cancer, or if you are a caregiver, friend, or freaked-out acquaintance, this book will help and help you to help. Marnie’s book is so honest and hopeful—it’s a must-read for those navigating cancer.” ~ Andrea Hutchman, Principal, Poppy Design
