Fingers Crossed, Legs Uncrossed

By Jen LiMarzi

Ever had a date eat a floral centerpiece at a wedding? Ever thought the Olympics should be held in the New York City subway system? Ever wondered why you dead bolt your front door but leave your wallet under a flip flop at the beach? Fingers Crossed, Legs Uncrossed explores these subjects and more while offering a hilarious glimpse of an ordinary person experiencing life in extraordinary ways. Journey through life with a perpetual underdog who contemplates the mass return of the heinous station wagon and obsesses about being "pee-shy" in the workplace restroom, all while trying to survive a daily commute. Despite the cynicism and sardonic wit that bites through much of Fingers Crossed, Legs Uncrossed, optimism prevails as often does the underdog. After breaking up with someone for the third time, being laid off for the second, or being pushed on the subway for what is sworn to be "the last", laugh about how someone else deals with a series of urban adventures hoping for the best and just keeping Fingers Crossed, Legs Uncrossed.

Five Stars for this humorous glimpse of New York City living and beyond. It'll leave you wanting more. It's a trip worth taking. Bring it to the beach, the baths, the toilet. Buy it for your friends, I promise, they'll love you for it.

Trish

I just finished "Fingers Crossed, Legs Uncrossed" and still laughing outloud.. Ms. Limarzi is on paper what Seinfeld is on TV.. The stories make you laugh cause you've been there as well--You must read: "naked locker room", "woman against mouse" and "Return of the dreaded station wagon" -- this is a perfect book to pick up for 5 minutes or 45 minutes and get a good laugh all the way through!

Humor the best medicine

This young lady knows what it is to live in Manhattan. Despite that she maintains a wonderful sense of humor and a writing style to get it across to the reader. In this day and age, humor is not only the best medicine, it's a necessity and Ms. LiMarzi makes our day!
