Product Description

Review
" A wry, crackly voice. . . . Fine, funny, and very moving pictures of contemporary life [from] a writer of enormous talent."
-- "The New York Times"
" Brisk, ironic . . . scalpel-sharp. . . . A funny, cohesive, and moving collection of stories." -- "The New York Times Book Review"
" Astonishing. . . . Moore is so good at trapping each moment in perfect, precise detail, so masterful at cynicism and wryness that her moments of poignancy and sweetness catch us completely off guard." -- "San Francisco Chronicle"
" Sharp, flicking, on-target . . . the work of a sorcerer' s apprentice. Moore casts a cruel, mischievous spell." -- "Vanity Fair"
" Trenchant, funny tales. . . . Moore is much more than another chronicler of the chronically out-of-sync relations between American men and women. She writes with urgency and pace." -- "People"

Product Description
A collection of nine ironic, bitter-sweet stories which constitute an idiosyncratic guide to female existence: "How to be an Other Woman", "How to Talk to your Mother (Notes)", "How to Become a Writer", and "The Kid's Guide to Divorce".

5.0 out of 5 stars laugh til you cry, 15 May 2009
By Ms. L. Pasternack (london) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
this really tells it is like it is - a wonderful assortment of short stories that make you grateful for being able to read. Moore's first hand present tense accounts of a variety of different relationships in different states of distress will make you laugh and cry and nod with agreement.
