This should be mandatory reading material for young women! A very short book packed with precious insight. The advice contained in this book is millions of times worth its price. Absolutely wonderful. I rushed to the store and bought an extra copy for my sister. I could write 50 more sentences and still not be able to convey the tremendous impression this book has made on me. Enjoyable from page one, funny and touching and dynamic (i love the way some of the characters speak, all in CAPS). Buy it and keep it on your nightstand forever!

I just found this book in the library with no knowledge of the author or title and I slowly fell in love with it. I read it in one day and started it all over again when I'd finished. I thought it would be light reading but turned out to contain wisdom and depth and then brought me to tears (no, I'm not a whimpy baby either). Now I'm searching the web for info about the author to tell her I lived in that world with Marty and felt her feelings. I didn't read about her I was there with her! Thank you for writing such an honest book Fredrica Wagman.

Packed in this little novella is a lot of powerful advice. If you have ever wondered what a great mother-in-law / daughter-in-law relationship is like, wonder no more. Watch it develop on each page. If only we were blessed with hindsight first!
