Burnt Toast - Teri Hatcher ... right? It's too light or too soft, then totally burnt. Are you the kind of person who tries to scrape off the black? Or do you smother it with jam to hide the taste? Do you throw it away, or do you just eat it? Up until now, I ate the burnt toast ...then I hit forty. It took Teri Hatcher a divorce, the experience of single motherhood, a parade of bad dates, a stalled career and a memorable fortieth birthday to realize that she didn't want to spend another decade preparing herself for the next disaster. Burnt Toast is the heartfelt, funny, poignant and inspiring account of Teri's jagged route to happiness. Teri reveals her life in unexpected ways, in the hopes of keeping other women from eating the burnt toast, and explains why you'll never get a second chance if you don't open yourself up to the possibility.

... self help book. this was so unlike me to want to read. but it was hilarious. it's well written and you can tell she has her feet on the ground. she doesnt try to tell you how to live your life. just points out where shes gone wrong and how she learnt to appreciate herself and her surroundings more. i could not put this book down. the burnt toast title is brilliant. but you should read it if you want to know what it means! it is a metaphor for how she decided to live her life. I dont want to give too much away here...more

I like to read auto-biographies; I love learning about peoples struggles, their achievements, their passions and truly believe that when reading someone’s memoirs your reading a little piece of their soul, your taking a snippet of their wisdom and you are experiencing a moment in time that affected them in some way. I believe you can learn more from an autobiography than any other form of literature and I try my hardest to read them as often as possible. So when I saw Burnt Toast by Teri Hatcher on the shelf I decided that it would be a good one to read next and I’m glad I did because whilst its not as inspirational and life changing as the blurb tries to make out, it is ...
