A perfect gift book like the smash hit Go the F*** to Sleep (over 1.5 million copies sold worldwide!), You Have to F***ing Eat perfectly captures Mansbach''s trademark humor, which is simultaneously affectionate and radically honest. You probably shouldn''t read it to your kids, so there''s a kid-friendly version, Seriously, You Have to Eat .
