In the memoir How to Explain, Louise grapples with the misgivings and longings inherent in who we truly are instead of who we’re supposed to be. With a wry wit, acute eye, and refreshing honesty, she writes about how to look at social media without hating herself, how to stop volunteering, and how to navigate seeing double in a singular world. Along the way, she explores how to talk to her personal trainer who thinks she is going to hell, what kind of exercise inspires the least amount of self-loathing and how to explain her differences to her kids’ friends. She captures the humor, surprise, and strange puzzle pieces that come together in being an adult human on her own terms.
