Customer Reviews

Hilarious and real life!

The author has such a way with words! Anyone can relate to 'quarter life crisis' scenario, esp. if you live in LA, as I do, where the story is set! I laughed out loud several times throughout this witty and highly entertaining book!

Funny, honest and refreshing!

Great book that I couldn't stop reading! A refreshingly honest look at what happens when you "stick to your schedule" and marry your opposite (no matter what your age!) Although I'm past 30 and still married, I could definitely identify with Sascha. This book was funny and spot on about modern relationships. Can't wait for more from Sascha!

Read it in one sitting.

You don't have to have been married to recognize a lot of the relationship tropes and dynamics that Sascha Rothchild deftly parses in this highly entertaining read. It could almost be subtitled "The Stupid [...] People Do In Their Twenties" -- even if you haven't shared the writer's journey, or wouldn't have always made the same choices, you will find familiar people, mistakes, and small triumphs in this book. Looking forward to more.

I laughed AND cried

This book deals with such universal themes and at the same time Sascha Rothchild is so specific about her often very funny and sometimes sad experiences that I read it in one night. This book is for anyone of any age who isn't afraid to face the ups and downs of life with humor.

Catcher in the Rye for the Stand Up Comedy Gen

Way more than a divorce memoir, this book is about growing up the child of Generation Counter Culture Parents in the '80s-90s multicultural, media saturated, Bi-Coastal USA. Rothchild captures the kaleidoscope of parental, social and generational ideas that must get sorted through to finally become your own person.
