Reviews
"Alert, alive, and funny. I laughed at its audacity and cried that I didn't write it."
Steve Martin
"Patricia Marx is one of the finest comic writers of her time, as readers of the New Yorker and fans of Saturday Night Live already know. Her fiction debut is an endlessly entertaining comic novel about one woman's romantic fixation on her first boyfriend."
New Yorker
"Who hasn't been stuck on a guy who didn't deserve it? Still, as common as the experience may be, the book is a rare creature: an entertaining romp of a novel whose sass and smarts elevate it well above the chick lit label."
