Patricia Marx is one of the finest comic writers of her time, as readers of The New Yorker and fans of Saturday Night Live already know. Her fiction debut is an endlessly entertaining comic novel about one woman’s romantic fixation on her first boyfriend.

From a celebrated humor writer for "The New Yorker" comes a brilliantly observed debut novel about the neurosis of romance and one single womans hilariously unhealthy obsession with her first boyfriend.

"I laughed at its audacity, and cried that I didn't write it."

-- Steve Martin, author of Shopgirl
