Not My Type: One Woman vs. a President
Not My Type: One Woman vs. a President | E Jean Carroll
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
"Delightful . . . We already know that E. Jean Carroll looked smashing when she went to court versus Donald J. Trump. But her irrepressible voice was, necessarily, repressed...Now she is saying pretty much everything." --The New York Times Book Review"Buoyant." --The New York TimesA hilarious, hopeful, revelatory behind the scenes account of the trials that riveted the nation You've heard about the tantrums, the seething, the storming out of court, yes. But what about E. Jean's side of the story? What about the flight suits, the bottle of green Chartreuse, and the bob? Not My Type puts you in a better seat than the jury box. You will hear Alina Habba, Esq., "Trump's most beautiful attorney," asking E. Jean to "list" the people she has "slept with"--a list which turns out to be so marvelous, it is worth twice the price of this book. You will experience the fear and loathing of E. Jean's "psychiatric evaluations," and hear how she tries to cheer up Trump's gloomy, $750-an-hour shrink by telling him about the strange white tablet Hunter S. Thompson gave her. You will be in on the choosing of the "clothes for court," and the creation of "the look" a look that will help the jury connect the younger E. Jean who is attacked by Trump in Bergdorf's with the older E. Jean who sits in the courtroom. It's all here: two dazzling trials, the full-tilt high stakes, the laugh-out-loud commentary, and the inspiring fact that a woman is never too old to get even.

I didn‘t really follow either of the trials that has awarded E. Jean in upwards now of $100 million (there is 9% compounded daily for lack of payment, so all those appeals & delays are adding up). I‘m not familiar with her writing style. Is it the best book I‘ve ever read? No. Do I support women? Yes. Do I support a woman that wants to donate her money that she was awarded to causes like women‘s reproductive rights, voting, healthcare? Yes

ncsufoxes We live in a world where women continue to not be believed about their experiences. It takes a strong woman to stand up to someone & stronger to take on someone like she did. I hope that she receives the money she was awarded (doubtful because I sincerely believe T is broke). Trigger warning because she does graphically describe the incident. #antifabookclub 2w
TheBookHippie I ordered this just to keep. I‘ve been following the story a long long time.. 2w
lil1inblue I'm thinking about ordering this just to order it. I don't know if I could read it due to the trigger warning, but I can put it on the shelf and lend it to friends! I've followed the story as much as I was able while avoiding triggers. I am in awe of her courage. 2w
StaceGhost I really want to read this for the marvelous list and court clothes intellectual gymnastics— I hope the other reasons can stand as obvious! Great review and rec 🙏 (edited) 2w
