Judith Rossner crafts a sharp, witty narrative following a woman navigating societal expectations, personal desires, and the messy business of being authentically herself in a world obsessed with labels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis isn't your typical romance—it's grittier, funnier, and refreshingly unpolished. Rossner explores themes of independence, sexuality, and the pressure to conform with her signature blend of dark humor and emotional depth. Perfect for readers who loved *The Women's Room* or anyone tired of sanitized stories about women's lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the author who gave us *Looking for Mr. Goodbar*, this preloved paperback from Patina Paperbacks offers vintage storytelling at its finest—raw, provocative, and surprisingly relevant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e**Reader Reviews:**\u003cbr\u003e\n*\"Rossner doesn't pull punches.
