Not My Type

AN INSTANT INDIE, USA TODAY, AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

"The world knows that Carroll prevailed in her gazillion-dollar lawsuits against Trump for defamation and sexual abuse. But hearing her describe that courtroom battle in her own smoky, mirth-filled drawl is an experience too delicious for the printed page. Which is why you shouldn't read Not My Type—you should listen to it."—The Washington Post
"How can a memoir about being sexually assaulted and taking the assailant—a former president of the United States—to civil court for both the attack and defamation be so hilarious and life-affirming? Probably only E. Jean Carroll could pull that one off, and she delivers it best in her own voice." — Slate

A hilarious, hopeful, revelatory behind the scenes account of the trials that riveted the nation
You've heard about the tantrums, the seething, the storming out of court, yes. But what about E. Jean's side of the story? What about the flight suits, the bottle of green Chartreuse, and the bob?
Not My Type puts you in a better seat than the jury box.
You will hear Alina Habba, Esq., "Trump's most beautiful attorney," asking E. Jean to "list" the people she has "slept with"—a list which turns out to be so marvelous, it is worth twice the price of this book. You will experience the fear and loathing of E. Jean's "psychiatric evaluations," and hear how she tries to cheer up Trump's gloomy, $750-an-hour shrink by telling him about the strange white tablet Hunter S. Thompson gave her.
You will be in on the choosing of the "clothes for court," and the creation of "the look": a look that will help the jury connect the younger E. Jean who is attacked by Trump in Bergdorf's with the older E. Jean who sits in the courtroom.
It's all here: two dazzling trials, the full-tilt high stakes, the laugh-out-loud commentary, and the inspiring fact that a woman is never too old to get even.
"Carroll reads with emotion as she relives her traumas and triumphs, her voice alternately cracking from the strain of holding back tears, dripping with exquisite snark or overflowing with joy. The result is a moving and serious listening experience that is also a lot of fun." — BookPage (Starred Review)
"Delightful . . . We already know that E. Jean Carroll looked smashing when she went to court versus Donald J. Trump. But her irrepressible voice was, necessarily, repressed...Now she is saying pretty much everything." —The New York Times Book Review

"Buoyant." —The New York Times
