Not My Type: One Woman vs. a President

By E. Jean Carroll

Book Overview

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

"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

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.

Great Inside Look at the Defamation/(Rape) Trial!

Courageous E. Jean Carroll gives an honest portrayal of how she came to fight back against Trump's slanderous, public rants against her allegation of rape, two decades ago. At times, I lost interest- the dissection of her clothing chosen for trial bored me but then I'm no fashionista, but she worked for ELLE magazine, so I get it. I was amazed how insensitive they STILL are in the way rape victims are treated in court. I'm glad I read this, as I knew WHERE the event took place,but not the background info. A great inside look into what goes into a high- profile civil case, as well as what a damaged, rage-filled man Trump is.
