I am not exaggerating when I say this is one of the best books I have ever read. I couldn't put it down and I am still thinking about the book, a month after finishing it. Taffy writes in such a brilliant, intelligent way and her depictions of married life, work-life balance as a working mother and the imbalance of childcare between husband and wife, not to mention miscommunications and fragile male egos, are BRILLIANT. I love the way that the book started off in a slightly meandering fashion but then quickly gained pace and more focus, and I loved the way that the women's voices got so much louder throughout, especially at the end. I loved the way that she manipulated the reader to change sympathies all the time - it was a real rollercoaster. I have recommended this to literally everyone and I cannot wait to read more of Taffy's writing.

Funny, witty, sharp as a needle and very very entertaining. Hard not to love this portrait of a rapacious greedy self absorbed man in a terrible world. I just want to know how the writer knew my ex husband so well. Thanks for the ARC - been shouting about this book to all my chums.

When I came to read this book, which I had downloaded to my Kindle, I found that it wasn't there! There was a copyright and title page, and a couple of pictures, and nothing else. so am unable to review it. I really would like to have read it but unless you send me a complete copy I will be unable to post a review.

Fleishman really is in trouble. Inexplicably, his soon to be ex-wife Rachel has disappeared. Also just as inexplicable is his in demand status on his dating app. Toby Fleishman is a shoo-in for a promotion at work, but all of a sudden he has to juggle his job, childcare and all of the new dares he has. What could possibly go wrong? Of course, Toby thinks he is a really good guy, and his wife is entirely to blame for the break of their marriage. He doesn't see how narcissistic and blinkered he is, not for one moment.
It is left to the narrator, Libby, to eventually point that out. Fleishman is a successful doctor earning good money, but in their world, there are always richer people. Rachel Fleishman dedicates her life to being richer, and fails to understand how Toby isn't in agreement. However awful Toby is, Rachel is much worse. Rachel thinks Toby has committed a terrible crime by not pursuing a compromised life of wealth acquisition that is her goal. Their poor children deserve so much better.
I haven't said how entertaining this book is. It is really a great read. The Fleishman's world is monstrous and we take vicarious pleasure in watching them make a mess of it.
