About this author

I'm a stay at home mom who tries to write books between outings to CVS and fighting with my husband over whose turn it is to wash the children. We recently moved from NYC to Oakland where trips to Barney's have been replaced with trips to the Berkeley Bowl to find the perfect avocado.


Kinderfreude: The joy one mom takes in seeing another mom's kid behaving badly. Granted, it will be your time soon enough, but sometimes it's the little things that make a rainy day look hilariously sunny. read more »

Are You Going to Kiss Me Now? by Sloane Tanen
" DNF

This book was terrible. It wasn't written well, and I absolutely hated every single character, even when I was skimming the end to see what went down. There was obnoxious bad language and disgusting sexual references. And it wasn't like Before... "

If you love good writing, this collection is a must read. That said, I found myself feeling totally apathetic towards all the unlikeable characters. By the end, I just didn't care. That said, I was constantly amazed at how well the author turned a ph...more

I LOVED this book. I couldn't wait until bedtime so I could start reading it every night. It's just perfect. That said, I recommended it to a few people who found it depressing. So go figure.

This is one of those book you will never forget....which is saying something for me because I seem to buy books I have and then not realize I've already read them until a good 50 pages in.

“Monkeys are dangerous animals. Don't be fooled by the cute exterior," Eve said like she was imparting some sage wisdom.
"Look," I explained, "I'm sure those monkeys were just mad about something like being trapped in a cage or being forced to wear velvet vests and dance to accordion music.”
Sloane Tanen, Are You Going to Kiss Me Now?

“He was on a wildly successful TV show on Disney for two years (playing a singing possum), before hitting the big screen, playing everything from Captain Marvel, to a schizophrenic, to Alexander the Great, to a college kid with a crystal meth addiction. I don't know if he's a great actor, but he's great looking, so who cares.”
