Stories poured in about every possible type of gaffe, from wardrobe malfunctions (widespread) to romantic misunderstandings (ditto), and from office faux pas (common) to bodily fluid mishaps ( \u003ci\u003edistressingly\u003c\/i\u003e common). Everyone Guillette talked to was enthusiastic about her clever project--and no one more so than Jack, the wry, handsome literary agent who Guillette thought might just be her soul mate. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But as time marched on, Guillette began to realize that her oh-so-cheerful study of other people's embarrassing moments might just be, instead, a way to avoid looking at the deeper, more uncomfortable truths behind her own. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Like her increasingly frequent need to sneak out of work (at a health agency, natch) for a \"quick smoke\" to settle her nerves. Or her stubborn ability to ignore the reality that her fairytale romance with Jack was imploding in a truly spectacular fashion. When Guillette accepted that the story she was meant to tell was not others' but her own, \u003ci\u003eMuch to Your Chagrin\u003c\/i\u003e was born.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Suzanne Guillette\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atria Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 1.08d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781416585992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGuillette, Suzanne:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Suzanne Guillette lives in Manhattan.
