Rebecca Eckler's newest book chronicles the hard truth of what it's really like to make a blended family.
Blissfully Blended Bullshit is a witty, engaging, refreshingly candid chronicle of a modern family's journey as they blend households. We follow Eckler as her partner and two children move in with her and her daughter. Then, they add another baby to the mix, thanks to a reverse vasectomy. Readers go along for the ride in this poignant, often hilarious tale as everyone attempts to navigate their new roles: the children, in-laws, exes, ex-in-laws, and even the dog.
Lighthearted and intimate, this is an indispensable story of a family determined to make blended splendid, and the juicy truth of what it's really like behind the closed doors, in this rapidly-growing family makeup.]]> Fri, 15 Nov 2019 10:56:47 +0200 Knocked Up https://music.library.land/rebecca-eckler/413927-knocked_up.html https://music.library.land/rebecca-eckler/413927-knocked_up.html Knocked Up
Rebecca Eckler is a popular newspaper columnist who lives the fabulous life and gets paid to write about it. So when a tipsy romp with her fiancé on the night of their lavish engagement party leaves her unexpectedly expecting, she is utterly at a loss. How will a woman who loves nothing more than a night out on the town sipping cocktails with her fellow party girls survive the pregnant life?

Knocked Up is the witty, engaging and refreshingly frank chronicle of a modern woman's journey into motherhood. We follow Eckler from the first trimester (a.k.a. the longest three months of her life), through the "fat months" of the second trimester, on to the "even fatter months" of the third. Flipping the pages of this Bridget-Jones-style diary, we share in Eckler' s discovery of prenatal vitamins and nursing bras, ultrasounds and obstetricians. And we experience her growing horror at the physical symptoms of pregnancy: all-day "morning" sickness, fatigue, varicose...]]> Mon, 26 Nov 2007 15:05:12 +0200 Rotten Apple https://music.library.land/rebecca-eckler/417655-rotten_apple.html https://music.library.land/rebecca-eckler/417655-rotten_apple.html Rotten Apple
Apple is the opposite of her outspoken mother and gossipy, chatty best friends; she's always been the cool, calm, and collected one. But her life is about to spiral out of control. Apple's super-sized, secret crush on her friend Zen leads her into major trouble. And she's realizing it might not have been such a good idea to pose as her mother--the famous talk show host and self-help guru, Dr. Bee Berg--and send out fake advice emails to keep her (devastatingly beautiful) friend Happy away from Zen. Before she knows it, her best friend hates her, the whole school knows about her crush, and she is humiliated on national TV. How much more will it take for Apple to learn that taking advice is just as important as giving it?]]> Wed, 26 Nov 2008 18:12:08 +0200 Apple's Angst https://music.library.land/rebecca-eckler/413928-apples_angst.html https://music.library.land/rebecca-eckler/413928-apples_angst.html Apple's Angst
Apple is back for another story filled with plenty of drama, boys, gossip -- and, of course, angst.

Things in Apple's life are slowly getting back to normal: her friendship with Happy seems to have survived her Crazy Girl Moment (i.e. sabotaging Happy's relationship with Zen), she has a new sort of-boyfriend, Lyon (cute and very sweet, but no pitter-patters in her heart), and she's landed a gig interning for Angst magazine (hottest teen magazine around). But, as it usually happens for Apple, life is never this perfect. Just add into the mix a snarky co-worker, an ever-annoying famous talk-show mother, and a major secret crush on her best friend's boyfriend that just won't go away, and things are about to get a lot more complicated . . .

"Pregnancy was a 90-minute massage compared to life now."

After her little bundle of joy, Rowan (aka The Dictator) arrives, Rebecca Eckler wonders when the promised "rewarding" part will kick in. She wasn't supposed to trade in tight jeans for baggy sweatpants, or give up the dream of sound sleep and a passionate sex life. Yet, even in the throes of her exhaustion, Rebecca gleans and shares some sound advice for modern moms, including everything you need to know on

• The Diaper Genie: "It's been six weeks and we have yet to use this 'must-have' baby item because we can't figure out how the damn thing works."
• Achievement: "No matter how well I had done in school, no matter what my career accomplishments were, my mother had never been so proud of me as when I gave birth."
• Keeping up appearances: "How is it possible that I haven't had a drink in months, yet still look worse than I ever did hung over?"
• The effectiveness of baby...]]> Wed, 26 Nov 2008 18:12:09 +0200
