About the Book

Micro-Memoirs, Poems, and Very, Very Short Plays

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 means to be the #WorldsOkayestMom with this short, funny take on modern domestic life.

What People Are Saying

‘A Perfect Facebook Life’ is a wild, hilarious, fun ride of a book, written with enormous vitality by AJ O’Connell. Her account of the extraordinary moments a youngish, okay-ish mom and spouse and working woman discovers in ordinary tasks will astonish you even as you nod in recognition, cheering on her wit. O’Connell has written one of those rare volumes: an authentically original book every reader will enjoy chronicling one woman’s everyday survival– and her delightful triumph.

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.
