    “One of my all-time favorite books! Catherine Newman is often called this generation’s Nora Ephron and I definitely see why one might make the comparison! Her writing is self-deprecating but warm, totally stripped of artifice, and very funny. I love all of her books so much (We All Want Impossible Things, Wreck, Catastrophic Happiness). I really want to go to one of her book tour stops!”
