"Mike is as clever, astute, and perceptive as he is brilliant. He has beautifully pulled off the three female voices in this novel -- a rare feat for a man -- with tremendous wisdom and insight. I can't wait to see what he does next."--Jane Green, New York Times-bestselling author

"I'm proud of Greeny. His characters could be anybody's mother, sister or best friend. We can all relate in one way or another to their relationships and lives."--Chris Golic, aka Mrs. Golic

"He may be the 'king of guy talk, ' but wait until you read the way he writes women."--Stacy Steponate Greenberg, aka Mrs. Greeny

"I read All You Could Ask For with slack-jawed admiration. Hands-down rookie of the year!"--Bruce Feiler, "New York Times" bestselling author of "The Council of Dads" and "The Secrets of Happy Families"

All You Could Ask For
Mike Greenberg

Three women are about to find their lives intertwined in ways none of them could ever have imagined. . . . 

Brooke has been happily married to her college sweetheart for fifteen years. Even after the C-section, the dog poop, the stomach viruses, and the coffee breath, Scott still always winks at her at just the right moments. That is why, for her beloved, romantic, successful husband's fortieth birthday, she is giving him pictures. Of her. Naked.

Samantha's newlywed bliss is steamrolled when she finds shocking evidence of infidelity on her husband's computer. She has been married for two days. She won't be for much longer.

Katherine works eighteen hours a day for the man who irreparably shattered her heart fifteen years ago. She has a duplex on Park Avenue, a driver, a chef, and a stunning house in Southampton, and she bought it all herself. So what if she has to see Phillip every single workday for the rest of her natural life? Brooke, Samantha, and Katherine don't know one another, but all three are about to discover the conquering power of friendship—and that they have all they could ask for, as long as they have one another.
