We are positively *jiggling* with excitement to welcome Allie Rowbottom, author of JELL-O GIRLS and part of the family that created the iconic dessert, to Eating Our Words book club! Real Simple calls this debut memoir “a strange, sensitive account of trauma, motherhood, and America,” and the NYT pronounces it “gorgeous…dark and astringent…a cutting rebuke to its delicate, candy-colored namesake.” We can’t wait to talk to Allie about her fascinating story.

Order your copy here, and email us at hello@thankyoubookshop.com for the Zoom invite! All are welcome.
