Not My Type One Woman Vs. a President

New York Times Bestseller and USA Today Bestseller

Welcome to the courtroom drama you won’t find anywhere else. E. Jean Carroll’s Not My Type is a bold, brilliant, and unexpectedly hilarious memoir that pulls back the curtain on the trials that captivated America. This isn’t just legal history—it’s a masterclass in resilience, wit, and the power of speaking truth.

What makes this book utterly compelling? Carroll’s irrepressible voice. While the nation watched the proceedings unfold, here’s what they didn’t see: the strategic wardrobe choices designed to connect past and present, the absurdly entertaining list of romantic encounters demanded by opposing counsel, the surreal moment involving Hunter S. Thompson and a mysterious white tablet. Carroll transforms high-stakes courtroom tension into page-turning storytelling that’s both deeply serious and genuinely funny.

The New York Times Book Review calls it “delightful,” praising Carroll’s previously “repressed” voice that now says “pretty much everything.” This is memoir as triumph—proof that it’s never too late to stand up, speak out, and yes, get even.

Perfect for readers who appreciate sharp political commentary, feminist courage, and writers who refuse to be silenced, Not My Type offers a front-row seat better than the jury box itself. Carroll’s story is inspiring, infuriating, and ultimately hopeful—a testament to one woman’s determination to be heard.
