As if that weren't enough, she's dealing with Matt's belching Uncle Tony, who is residing on an air mattress in the basement, and her sister Andrea, a roving hippie, who is nesting on their couch. Plus dueling mothers-in-law hell-bent on double-booking the newlyweds, an incontinent terrier, and a randy best friend. As midterm exams are about to begin, Megan's unweaned infant niece (a.k.a. The Pink Tyrant) is left in her care, and there's no time to spare for reexamining her life. Between the demands of her family and a gigantic decision only she and Matt can make, Megan finds herself in a state of marital chaos that she never imagined but must somehow manage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Fun, witty, and utterly charming.” —\u003ci\u003eSarah Mlynowski on Going Coastal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“French manages to make bizarre situations seem plausible, and her strong suit lies in the characters.” —\u003ci\u003eBooklist on Going Coastal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Unexpectedly poignant...the emotions ring true.” —\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly on sMothering\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Fabulous, funny, and rings frighteningly true!” —\u003ci\u003eMelissa Senate, author of See Jane Date on sMothering\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9780765313768\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Forge Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40592882925774,"sku":"9780765313768","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_aa7dc92b-cf3f-4891-b521-66cbeb2545a9.jpg?v=1637776682","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9780765313768","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
