“Apparently, Brakeman lives in the cushions of our couch, for how else does she latch onto the universal truths of our lives like this? The secret: Her life is our life. Only funnier. This new book belongs on the shelf between Bombeck and Barry.” - Chris Erskine, Los Angeles Times
"Like [Erma] Bombeck, feigning no pretense, Brakeman celebrates the highs, the lows, and the many places in-between as a sandwich generation mom of teens and an aging mother. Brakeman’s writing is at once smart, sharp and poignant…. [and] like Bombeck, Brakeman has the ability to make us laugh, even in the toughest times." Liesl Testwuide for The Huffington Post
"I love Kristen's essays - she never fails to make me laugh!" - Kit Hoover, Co-host of Access Hollywood Live

"Kristen Brakeman's writing makes me laugh, makes me cry and makes me think. For me, and lots of women who read and relate to Brakeman, that's a perfect trifecta. She taps into women's lives with a sharp eye and a sharp wit. Her slice-of-life essays deliver on all counts." - Lian Dolan, Co-host/Creator of Satellite Sisters and LA Times bestselling author "Brakeman's delicious essays feel so true that you start off thinking, Yep, I know that feeling. But then you laugh or cry and end up saying, Hey, I never thought of it that way!" - Amy Goldman Koss, author
