Lipman is a very funny and capable writer so I feel bad giving this only 2 stars, but the plot does not gel, making even a short book seem long. Nash Harvey is a classic cad, incapable of telling the truth for even a second when faced with the prospe...more

“You know you're a mom when you open the door to the dishwasher mid-cycle and think, 'This is the closest I'm going to get to a spa treatment till next Mother's Day.'"

"Joining the words 'Lose Weight, Effortlessly!' in the same sentence may be a form of hate speech."

"Try to make time for the things that are important, not just the things that are urgent."

"I want my work to matter, my words to count for the good, and to spread some good cheer along the way.”
