Story
All Things Aside is a punchy, honest, incisive book that shares a view of the world through the eyes of the inimitable Iliza Shlesinger. From the macro to micro, Shlesinger tackles it all with her no-bullshit comedic style. Throughout the book, Shlesinger dives from one subject into the next, making her hilarious asides the basis of her stories, much like she does in her stand-up comedy. Topics range from dissecting social expectations to the notion that products marketed specifically to women are scams, and all manner of things in between.

From her youthful days as a vicious nerd to her tour of duty on Saturday Night Live. Tina Fey reveals all, and proves what we've always suspected: You're no one until someone calls you bossy.

Story
The relationship between Freddie Mercury and Jim Hutton evolved over several months in 1984 and 1985. Even when they first slept together, Hutton had no idea who Mercury was, and, when the star told him his name, it meant nothing to him. Hutton worked as a barber at the Savoy Hotel and retained his job and his lodgings in Sutton, Surrey, for two years after moving in with Mercury. He was never fully assimilated into Mercury's jet-setting lifestyle, but, from 1985 until Mercury's death in 1991, he was closer to him than anyone and knew all Mercury's closest friends.

Like most of us, Toni Lodge tells little white lies all the time. Whether it's "I'm five minutes away" or "It must have gone to my spam folder", most of these innocent fibs are harmless. But what if you realised that you weren't just lying about the little things, but the big "life" stuff too? When Toni sat down to write this memoir, she realized that the lies she was telling herself were hiding some pretty important home truths—about her work, her identity and her mental health. In her dogged pursuit of these truths, she brazenly explores everything.

Written by: Jim Gaffigan
Publisher's Summary
From breakout stand-up comedian Iliza Shlesinger comes a subversively funny collection of essays and observations on a confident woman's approach to friendship, singlehood, and relationships.
"Girl Logic" is Iliza's term for the way women obsess over details and situations that men don't necessarily even notice. She describes it as a characteristically female way of thinking that appears to be contradictory and circuitous but is actually a complicated and highly evolved way of looking at the world. When confronted with critical decisions about dating, sex, work, even getting dressed in the morning, Iliza argues that women will by nature consider every repercussion of every option before making a move toward what they really want. And that kind of holistic thinking can actually give women an advantage in what is still a male world.
In Iliza's own words: "Understanding Girl Logic is a way of embracing both our aspirations and our contradictions. GL is the desire to be strong and vulnerable. It's wanting to be curvy, but rail thin at the same time. It's striving to kick ass in a man's world while still being loved by the women around you.
"This book is also for me, because apparently expounding on a stage for two hours a night wasn't enough. (Trust me, if I could start a cult I would, but I hate the idea of deliberately dying in a group.)"

great book
I am much older and definitely not a girly girl but I am really enjoyed this book. I think hearing the actual author read was a good part of the reason. I could relate to her and she put the inflections she intended.

I appreciate her honesty and perspective on life. I listened to the whole book in one day! I just couldn't stop listening. I hope she goes on to write much more and continues to share her brilliant view with the rest of us. Thanks Iliza! PS I'm now following her on social media.

Great! 4.5 stars … but
I enjoyed so much of this book - Iliza Schlesinger is funny, smart, insightful and pulls no punches!
She shares life lessons from the first decades of her life, inspires women to go for it - whatever & wherever ‘it’ is.
She en outages women to stand up for themselves, build their dreams and take no ‘…’!
A recurring message that I believe she means is to support other women, don’t tear them down- we are up against enough already …
She is fabulously passionate at getting that message out !
The only thing that stopped me from a 5 star was that while she is championing women to support each other with one loud rally cry she is also whispering ( literally) comments that are wickedly judgemental.
Judging wow on everything from wardrobe to life choices.
Equally or maybe more distasteful are her attempts at being funny through disrespectful and ageist comments about the women who’ve gone before … not in comedy but in life… ‘… your mom’ or ‘…some old lady’
I was disappointed by this.
Otherwise I enjoyed the book and am still a fan.

love it. *humour required
this was a fantastic book. I've often been told I'm too outspoken. I am assertive and I know who I am which scares people..(I'm no bully!).but this feedback sometimes has you questioning even the things you are confident in at times..this book is fantastic even though I'm very self aware because it takes a fantastically blunt stance on saying it is okay, good and encouraged.

Iliza Shlesinger is always hilarious and on-point. This is no different. Honest and straight-forward the book looks at a way of empowering women that is more than the "just be like men" advice you'll get elsewhere.

Very real
This book was wonderful. For all the girls who get inside their heads, for all the girls who overthink that small action, for all the girls who have 10 versions of one conversation (none of which are feasible) this book is for you. It is ok to think like a girl, it is ok to go a little crazy; but sometimes you need to turn it off.
This book was funny, real, and so enjoyable. It made me think of how I deal with things and how to not let my girl logic get the best of me.
10/10 would recommend!
