"It is funny, and it is sad, and it is real, and if you've ever been through anything in your life . . . you are going to love this book." —Jennifer Weiner, New York Times–bestselling author of Who Do You Love
Twenty-seven-year-old Nora McInerny Purmort bounced from boyfriend to dopey "boyfriend" until she met Aaron—a charismatic art director and comic-book nerd who once made Nora laugh so hard she pulled a muscle. When Aaron was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer, they refused to let it limit their love. They got engaged on Aaron's hospital bed and had a baby boy while he was on chemo. In the period that followed, Nora and Aaron packed fifty years of marriage into the three they got, spending their time on what really matters: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, each other, and Beyoncé. A few months later, Aaron died in Nora's arms. The witty obituary they wrote during Aaron's hospice care revealing his true identity as Spider-Man touched the nation.
With It's Okay to Laugh, Nora puts a young, fresh twist on the subjects of mortality and resilience. What does it actually mean to live your "one wild and precious life" to the fullest? In this deeply felt and deeply funny memoir, Nora gives her readers permission to struggle, permission to laugh, permission to tell the truth and know that everything will be okay. It's Okay to Laugh is a love letter to life, in all its messy glory.
"May we all bring Nora's honesty, passion and hope to our lives." —Lena Dunham
"Nora is Anne Lamott for the emoji generation." —MSP Magazine
"The perfect blend of nostalgia-drenched humor, wit, and heartbreak." —Mandy Moore
