Sandra Tsing Loh’s hilarious, snarky, insightful, and compassionate inner monologue could have stayed inside her head. But she wrote it all down, and that makes us the fortunate ones. I laughed from the beginning to the end. You will too. If you don’t there’s something seriously wrong with you.\" -- Julia Sweeney, comedian\u003cbr\u003e\"This wildly funny book proves that the more of life’s indignities that are heaped on Sandra Tsing Loh, the more we will thrill to her brilliant wit and rock-solid resilience. I laughed about seventy times, welled up twice, and cried at the end. Spectacular.\" -- Henry Alford, author of Would It Kill You to Stop Doing That?\u003cbr\u003e\"If humor will save us from these times—and if not, nothing will—Sandra Tsing Loh should be president. Or, better, queen. I devoured this perceptive, of-the-moment book about midlife love, work, motherhood, peer pressure, and more, with tears of hilarity running down my face. Sandra Tsing Loh could write an oven manual, and I’d laugh. I think she might be the funniest writer writing today.\" -- Cathi Hanauer, editor of The Bitch in the House\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eThe Madwoman and the Roomba\u003c\/em\u003e is so funny it woke up my husband. He couldn’t fall back to sleep with all the cackling, so he told me to read it aloud, and then we were both laughing. It’s a year in the life of a very particular family: Mom wants to write \u003cem\u003eThe Angry Divorced Mother’s Cookbook\u003c\/em\u003e; her live-in boyfriend is more interested in the \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e’ barbecue recipes than in finding a full-time job; her brother strips to his underwear to give their father’s eulogy…In other words, they’re just like the rest of us: trying to get by without killing each other.
