“This story will compel you to both laugh and cry, just as
the title promises. May we all bring Nora’s honesty, passion and hope to
our lives.” — Lena Dunham
Twenty-seven-year-old
Nora McInerny Purmort bounced from boyfriend to dopey “boyfriend” until
she met Aaron—a charismatic art director and comic-book nerd who once
made Nora laugh so hard she pulled a muscle. When Aaron was diagnosed
with a rare form of brain cancer, they refused to let it limit their
love. They got engaged on Aaron’s hospital bed and had a baby boy while
he was on chemo. In the period that followed, Nora and Aaron packed
fifty years of marriage into the three they got, spending their time on
what really matters: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, each other, and Beyoncé. A
few months later, Aaron died in Nora’s arms. The obituary they wrote
during Aaron’s hospice care revealing his true identity as Spider-Man
touched the nation. With It’s Okay to Laugh, Nora puts a young,
fresh twist on the subjects of mortality and resilience. What does it
actually mean to live your “one wild and precious life” to the fullest?
How can a joyful marriage contain more sickness than health? How do you
keep going when life kicks you in the junk? In this deeply felt and
deeply funny memoir, Nora gives her readers a true gift—permission to
struggle, permission to laugh, permission to tell the truth and know
that everything will be okay. It’s Okay to Laugh is a love
letter to life, in all its messy glory; it reads like a conversation
with a close friend, and leaves a trail of glitter in its wake.
