Life in Review: “The Chicktionary” by Anna Lefler + Giveaway

*Please read through to the end of the post for instructions on how to enter the giveaway! 

The Chicktionary by Anna Lefler is a hilarious look at some of the words and phrases in every woman’s life. This book kept me laughing out loud the whole way through!

In this book, the author lists from A – Z words and phrases that are used by most all women. Some are slang, some are every day words and phrases, but her definitions have a humorous insight that makes this a highly entertaining read. It’s light and fun and makes a delightful read.

I very highly recommend this book! I can’t tell you enough how absolutely hilarious this book was for me. I was doing the ugly snort-laughing out loud through this whole book. I love the author’s sense of humor and at the same time, her humorous insights are also dead-on. This is the first I book I have read by Anna Lefler and I want to read more!

Book Summary:

Your bestie, biffle, and GMF rolled into one!

You’re all over the definitions of “low lights,” “ruching,” and a “tankini.” But can you spot a “Mrs. Potato Head” when you see one?

That’s where The CHICKtionary comes in. The CHICKtionary is a humorous dictionary of the words and phrases women use—and what they really mean when they use them.  The book corrals more than 450 terms, including some you know (uterus) and some you might not (flexting), and defines each from the perspective of a typical contemporary woman—a woman who avoids accidental pageant hair, is frenemies with her robotic vacuum and only occasionally relies on her high-waisted jeans to hold up her strapless bra.
