Crazy to Leave You
Crazy to Leave You | Marilyn Simon Rothstein
6 posts | 6 read | 3 to read
From the author of Husbands and Other Sharp Objects comes a witty, bighearted novel about the happy accidents that lead to love and second chances. Forty-one years old, the last of her friends to marry, and down to a size 12, Lauren Leo is in her gown and about to tie the knot. There's just one thing missing: the groom. With one blindsiding text, Lauren is unceremoniously dumped at the altar. In the aftermath, her mother is an endless well of unsolicited advice (Stay on your diet and freeze your eggs). Her sisters only add to the Great Humiliation: one is planted on Lauren's couch while the other is too perfect. Picking her heart up off the floor, Lauren turns to her work in advertising as she gathers courage to move on and plan her next step. She should know by now that nothing in life goes according to plan. What lies ahead is the road to self-acceptance and at long last feeling worthy. With a new way to measure love and success, Lauren chucks her scale--and finds a second chance in the most unexpected place.

One of the standout aspects of the novel is its exploration of real-life issues, such as body image, family dynamics, and workplace sexism, with sensitivity and humor. Rothstein tackles these topics with a light touch, allowing readers to laugh and empathize with the characters while still recognizing the seriousness of the underlying issues.

Mehso-so

Meh. The story of a jilted 41 year old woman who was left at the alter. Nothing interesting about a woman who has a bad relationship with food and an overbearing family. The climax happened in the first few pages when her groom didn‘t show and it went nowhere from there. Then she daydreamed non stop about mundane things. Next. Book #67 in 2022

FULL REVIEW 10/28

Will Eric ever call and explain or apologize?

The day of her wedding was actually HER wedding only...no Eric.

Very enjoyable and focuses on family and doing what‘s right for yourself.

You will love the characters - especially Rudy who is featured on the cover.

Not my usual genre, but I laughed out loud at some parts of the book, and I know you will too. 5/5

This book was given to me by the author for an honest review.

I listened to this on audiobook and it had me laughing from the beginning and it kept me laughing all the way through. I absolutely loved the sense of humor of the main character and the main love interest. I adored the relationship between the main character and her sisters. This was exactly the kind of light-hearted romance I was wanting.
