Go Ask Ali Audiobook Summary

New York Times bestselling author Ali Wentworth offers her hilarious and unique advice on surviving the absurdity of modern life in her third collection of laugh-out-loud comic vignettes.

Ali Wentworth’s first two books, Ali in Wonderland and Happily Ali After, were lauded by readers, critics, and fellow comedians alike. Entertainment Weekly included Happily Ali After on its “Must List” and hailed it as “hilarious. . . . Her glass isn’t half full–it’s “empty and cracked,” while Cosmopolitan praised it as “razor-sharp.” Chelsea Handler called Ali in Wonderland “truly hilarious,” and Kathy Griffin christened it, “Chicken Soup for the Vagina.” Alec Baldwin has described Ali as “funny and warm and crazy all at once. Like Barbara Eden. But on something. Like crystal meth,” and Jerry Seinfeld has raved, “Everything that comes out of Ali Wentworth’s mouth is funny!”

At once endearing and hilarious, thoughtful and far-fetched, this third collection offers Ali at her wisest and wittiest as she delivers tips, pointers, and quips on a host of life’s conundrums and sticky situations, including the funny, sometimes embarrassing yet unforgettable situations that have shaped her inimitable world view as a wife, mother, actress, comedian, and all around bon vivant. Thoroughly entertaining, Go Ask Ali is packed with thoughts and musings from “the girlfriend you want to have a glass of wine with, the one who makes you laugh because she sees the funny and the absurd in everything” (Huffington Post).

Laugh out loud funny!!! I love Ali Wentworth and I can just imagine her giving George shit all day long! 😂😂. GO ASK ALI is just hysterical! There are so many laugh out loud moments and I truly want Ali to be my best friend! At times, I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe! My only complaint is that I was finished way too soon! I wanted to keep reading and giggling away. This book is full of funny stories in the world of Ali all told with great humor. There is no moral enlightenment from reading this book. In the end, I just feel happy and my soul is lighter from the few hours of laughter.Ali Wentworth is a woman who knows how to laugh at herself, and if you aren't the type of person who can do that as well, it may be hard to hear her hilarious voice come through in GO ASK ALI. I don't read many non fiction books but this kept me amused. I always enjoy seeing her on talk shows and find her to be very funny.

Ali’s hilarious and smart as a whip!!! You can’t NOT smile or laugh while reading this, she’s the real deal and so full of heart. She even laughs at herself and has no trouble finding the fun in everyday life. A feel good funny memoir - had a great time with it!! 4.5 ☆ 🍋🙂

Do you have a friend that always makes you laugh, no matter what? Whether you go to her/him for advice and wind up going from miserable to laughing so hard you’re crying after a single conversation with them or maybe they’re just the type of person who is on the spot funny and always has the best quips and one liners. My point is, I think we all have at least one of those types of friends and reading Go Ask Ali was like one long, hilarious conversation with said friend.This book is a mix of advice from Ali and tidbits from her life, little stories about her family, marriage and childhood delivered in a self deprecating and laugh out loud funny manner, seriously I really did laugh. (Multiple times) As funny as Wentworth is, she really does give solid advice, her delivery is just blunt and straightforward with a little snark thrown in on the side. It’s written in a really laid back and conversational tone that makes it seem like a pretty effortless read, I read it in a couple of hours and barely even noticed the time, it was just fun.This would be perfect to read on a road trip or a plane ride, except fellow travelers may think you’re a little crazy when you snort with laughter, but whatever. A really perfect summer read, I mean just look at that cover!Go Ask Ali in three words: Sarcastic, Feisty and Witty.

I was avoiding reading this book because I knew it would make me never want to write again. Ali Wentworth can make anything funny. The way she views the world is fresh and honest and hilarious. And she doesn't hold back. Plus, her observations are so relatable. She makes it look easy. You walk away thinking you could make your own life sound that funny. But you can't!

Ali has been one of my favorite road trip companions (along with Mindy, Tina, Shonda & Amy). Her latest does not disappoint!

This is a fun book to read! The author, who I've never seen on TV, writes about how to keep relationships strong, with your spouse and your friends.

Ali Wentworth is the best friend you always wished that you had. She's witty, she's smart, she bakes, and she's married to George Stephanopoulos. In her newest book, Go Ask Ali, she offers advice for living a smarter life based on her experiences as well as the experiences of her closest friends. From relationships to parenting to how to make a sex tape, Wentworth shares her wisdom on a wide range of topics, with a liberal sprinkling of personality, warmth, and humor. Ali Wentworth is down-to-earth, even if her friends are in the top echelon of entertainment, No matter what, she keeps her feet on the ground and her hand in the cookie jar as she tells us stories of her early days as an actress in Los Angeles, her dating life, her relationship with her husband, and parenting teenagers. I signed up for the humor and the tales from inside the entertainment industry and politics. But what made me really fall in love with this book is the stories of summer. From the weekends she spent with her mother in Maine as a kid to the time she spent in East Hampton with her kids as they grew up, those summer days sounded magical. No devices, just sunshine and family and laughter, light salty breezes and fireflies and bonfires. She painted such a lovely picture that I want to be a kid again, letting my feet dig into sand and get kissed by the ocean waves, or even just reading a book in a shady spot. Go Ask Ali is filled with lots of lovely advice, but it's also replete with humanity and heart and humor. It's a short book, but it is a charming read for the beach or the morning commute. Great as a graduation gift or just because you need a book to lighten your day and your spirit. Great fun. But as far as her assertion that she makes the best chocolate chip cookie dough in the western hemisphere? I'm not so sure. I think I'm going to need solid proof of that one before I can agree. Galleys for Go Ask Ali provided by Harper through Edelweiss, with many thanks.

Must readThis book is so funny that I had to move to another room as I was laughing so much. Tears ran down frequently from laughing . I chose this book as I heard and read the author was hysterical..She n hubby,George. GMA are best friends w Jerry Seinfeld n wife. The chapter on the family vacation alone worth buying the book n the endorphins released. I pulled an all nighter as the book was a must couldn't put it down.

Always Hysterical!Ali is personable, relatable,& hilarious as always! Not being a parent myself, I've not dealt with many of her tribulations. However, most chapters still had me roaring with laughter.

I've read Ali's other books, and just like those, this was laugh out loud funny.Toward the end, I was reading late at night, I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe and I wanted to wake someone up to read to! The fact that she is married to George S. Makes it even funnier. Highly recommend.

This got me started with Ali Wentworth and then I started working my way backwards through her books. This and the one prior are best -- the "Ali in Wonderland" is a little too scattered. They are entertaining and I recommend trying one of them.

Really cute / funny / and mostly silly. The author does touch on a few lessons she's learned in her life that were not funny, but I thought those were very well written and thoughtful. Good, quick read.

This book brings comedy to life in one of the best ways possible! This book is fun to read, light, but also packs a punch where it needs to. It's fun to learn about life through someone else's eyes and this book does just that. Super quick read with actually LOL moments!

Comedian and actress, Ali Wentworth's followup to her hilarious first book, Ali In Wonderland, gives her advice about all the things she's learned in life. Never has good advice been wrapped in such a laugh-filled package. - BH.
