  For lovers of Catherine Newman, Lorrie Moore, and Ottessa Moshfegh comes a debut collection of 14 insightful, witty, and often laugh-out-loud stories. 
  My Mother’s Boyfriends is populated by angels, earthquakes, sibling complexity, love affairs gone bad, and children left to figure it out on their own. Woven throughout is an abiding sympathy for the mess-ups, bad choices, and missteps humans make despite their best intentions. 
  “Witty and utterly enchanting.” —Vendela Vida, author of We Run the Tides 
  "In My Mother's Boyfriends, Samantha Schoech writes with precision, grace, and considerable wit on subjects ranging from the magical to the mundane. Packed with sharply observed characters and surprising sentences that masterfully turn a story inside out, this collection is as unsettling as The Big One, but so much more fun. These are voices you'll hear in your head long after you've closed the book. A terrific read with a big San Francisco heart." —Michelle Richmond, bestselling author of The Marriage Pact and The Wonder Test

  The New York Times bestselling author of Big Girl Panties puts a modern twist on My Fair Lady in this funny, romantic confection in which a canny young woman makes over her awkward millionaire client . . . with some hot, sexy, and surprising results. 
  Suffocating in a dead-end marriage, Midwesterner Zoey Sullivan fled to New York and moved in with her older sister Ruth, a carefree, vivacious beauty with a string of eligible bachelors at her beck and call. Giving herself three months in the city to clear her head and find a direction, Zoey dodges calls from her ex Derek, and distracts herself by cooking and catering a few private dinners and parties. Pursuing her passion for cooking was never an option when she was with Derek, and now Zoey relishes her independence. 
  When Zoey’s meets reclusive millionaire Tristan Malloy, she’s blown away by his kitchen—a marble and stainless steel temple worthy of the culinary gods—and charmed by his impeccable gentlemanly manners. But despite his firm body, handsome looks, and piles of cash, Tristan—a computer programmer—is shy and more than a little socially awkward. Zoey is sure that Tristan has all the right raw ingredients—and she’s the right person to spice them up turn him into a delectable dish. 
  But Zoey’s unprepared for just how well her makeover works. Tristan turns out to be even sexier once he’s gained a little confidence and the right wardrobe. Beneath the gorgeous package, Tristan is a great guy who deserves a woman who really appreciates him. Slowly but surely, Zoey realizes she may have found her perfect match—but does Tristan even know how her feelings have changed? Is that warm look in his eyes gratitude for the new and exciting world she’s ushered him into, or something more? And what will happen when Zoey’s ex comes to town, looking to win her back?

  Comedian Claudia Stavola understands we’re living in sensitive times and the word hate is controversial, so she doesn’t use it loosely. She only uses it for serious infractions like gender reveal parties, guys who wear shorts when it’s forty below, and Gwyneth Paltrow’s vagina candle.  
  You’ll be thoroughly entertained and in awe of how Stavola’s raucous sarcasm mirrors your inner most thoughts in this hilarious collection of easy-to-read essays. With her witty and insightful observations, she’s like a modern-day George Carlin, except hairier. (Hey, she’s Italian. She was born with a mustache). 
  100 Things to Hate Before You Die is astute, honest, and laugh-out-loud funny. Claudia shares her aggravation over a range of topics from mundane things like Fakebook, crappy gift-givers, and ukuleles on talent show auditions, to more thought-provoking topics such as people with no shame, the need for a license to parent, and the death of Eddie Van Halen.  
  Delivered with razor-sharp force, Stavola’s hysterical and unique takes on everyday a**holes makes this not only a great read for comedy lovers, but a must-read.
