"These vignettes are as relatable as they are distinctly O'Connell: a chicken-tending, sci-fi reading, family-loving, funny feminist trying to make it out of the house with her pants on, or better yet, a pocketed skirt. She is the Facebook friend you've always wanted." -Alena Dillon, author ofMercy HouseandMy Body Is A Big Fat Temple
"InA Perfect Facebook Life, O'Connell mines the rich vein of the everyday to reveal what is true and what is funny and what keeps us all going. This is a terrific collection, and I am full of writerly envy can't wait to share it with my friends." -Elizabeth Hilts, author of "Every Freaking! Day with Rachell Ray: An Unauthorized Parody" and "Getting In Touch With Your Inner Bitch"
(but not her real one): a collection of poems, micro-fiction, and very short plays that started their lives as statuses. No, really. Explore the problem with small-town Facebook groups, how it feels to get to an age when you've got a Paying Taxes playlist on Spotify, and what it truly means to be the #WorldsOkayestMom with this short, funny take on modern domestic life.
