Publisher's Synopsis
"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 of Mercy House and My Body Is A Big Fat Temple
"In A 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"
Welcome to A.J. O'Connell's A Perfect Facebook Life (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.
