Jen Mann is the nationally bestselling author of People I Want to Punch in the Throat, based on her popular blog of the same name. She has also written for The Huffington Post, Scary Mommy, NickMom, Babble, Circle of Moms, and CNN Headline News. Her blog received a 2014 Bloggie Award for Best Parenting Weblog.

"[Jen] Mann's writing has transcended from witty anecdotes and
complaints to notable satire. Hidden among the many laugh-out-loud
zingers are lessons on how we relate to each other, and how
ridiculous parenting culture has become."--Associated
Press
"Following the success of her first book, she is now punching
throats at holidays, starting from her being age two and continuing
to the present, where she is a harried mother bemoaning not just
Christmas but all holidays. . . . Harried holiday haters will
chuckle and perhaps see themselves somewhere in Mann's lifetime
dislike of and misbehavior during America's increasingly
commercialized celebrations."--Booklist
"The cure for my cold holiday spirit this year is the sidesplitting
new book by Jen Mann. . . . Mann delivers her signature punch lines
and sharp critique on the oftentimes ridiculous shenanigans of the
modern family. Her ability to make an otherwise boring subject come
alive with colorful personalities, biting sarcasm, and impressively
astute observations on suburban culture is what makes Mann so much
fun to read and so easy to relate to."--The Huffington
Post

Mag

or when the kids are finally napping."--FangirlNation
"So, grab a cup of hot cocoa, sit back and enjoy Jen's latest
collection of humorous rants dissecting the 'most wonderful time'
of the year. She unleashes her biting wit and hilarious opinions on
everything from cookie exchanges to annual humblebrag Christmas
letters from overachieving moms to horrifying Christmases of her
childhood. . . . Spending the Holidays with People I Want to Punch
in the Throat will fill you with nostalgia."--Creating
Serenity
"[Mann] has really mastered the short story format. . . . She packs
the maximum amount of funny into the fewest words, and many of
these essays are downright hilarious. . . . If you've read and
liked her other books, you will definitely want to read this one,
too."--Bug Bug Book Reviews
