You Say Tomato, I Say Shut Up: A Love Story by Annabelle GurwitchMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I haven't read a laugh-out-loud book in a long time. However, when I read Anabelle's passage about Jeff's nude-ar (a male homing instinct that enables this gender to instantly materialize the moment a woman even touches the hem of her shirt), I busted up. And the amusement did not stop there.
Annabelle and Jeff write in alternating passages about the trials, tribulations, and downright horrors of being married. They disagree about pretty much everything and make a sport out of depicting the other as "more wrong." Simultaneously, they strike terror into the hearts of unwed readers, while depicting marriage as an enviable state full of frustration, amusement, and security.
I am one of these unwed readers, and I found the book uproariously funny. I would imagine that married readers would enjoy it even more.
