CONGRATS!!!!!! I LOVED the audiobook--it was as if you were reading to me in my car as I drove to see my now grad-student kid in Canada. I'll be sharing and leaving 5-star reviews for you once I can safely exit National Poetry Month which has pulled me in several directions-- ha!

More than just a book on marriage, your book reminds us of the invisible gender roles that hold us back as women, artists, and writers. I nodded along from Washington State to Canada, saying, "I hear you, Sister, I hear you."

Such important and needed writing. I kept thinking of Hawthorne's horrible quote "America is now wholly given over to a damned mob of scribbling women..." and the diminishment of women's passions as "hobbies." The lawyer with her air quotes on "working" when talking about your writing is infuriating to me. Anyway, a long way to say THANK YOU, Maggie. Thank you.

I love everything about this book! I love the structure as well. I am taking notes about it and wishing I would have thought to write a book this way. It is brilliant!
