Heather Armstrong is the woman behind www.Dooce.com, touted as “the most popular personal blog on the Internet.” Since 2001, she’s written about whatever she feels like, from her co-workers (which got her fired from her L.A. Web design job) to meeting her husband, pregnancy, and becoming a Salt Lake City stay-at-home mom. Admittedly, I logged on ready to hate it. I mean, how interesting could this woman’s life be? But I was quickly schooled in her sheer likeability. A self-described recovering Mormon, she’s cleverly self-deprecating and fiercely funny, plus she cusses up a storm. Her second book, It Sucked and Then I Cried (Simon Spotlight, $24), chronicles the birth of her first child and the following joys and hardships that followed. Her days get dark, so dark that she has to check herself into a psych ward to battle a mean case of postpartum depression. But what could have been another woe-is-me memoir is saved by Armstrong’s easy-access, candid writing style. She’s relatable and endearing, flaws and all. SUZIE RUGH
