"Beneath the wisecracking tales of solo supermarket shopping, phone therapy and Hamptons houseshares, the raw emotion about her divorce and nightmare mother-in-law rings true. Plus, any girl who can pen such gems as, 'I wanted to verb his noun', deserves respect.--Marie Claire (UK)

"Stephanie Klein is so gut-wrenchingly honest that it's embarrassingly entertaining to read her oh-so-real stories, even if you haven't experienced what she's gone through--from divorce to hating tuna fish to attending weddings alone ("Something to really look forward to, you know, like a Pap smear")."--Jane
