love most of all drives you absolutely
crazy?

Letscher... they'll announce their line-up on May 16th...

"...it's her unblinking gaze at their marriage... that makes her book
one of the few to address the biggest yet most unasked question in
the married mind:  When the preacher said, 'For better or for
worse,' exactly how worse is worse?" -- The Chicago Sun Times

"Some of the fights were legitimate, such as his in-laws visiting too
often. But a lot of the fights were inane, like when she freaked out
about what kind of pots and pans to buy for their new house or
when he got mad that she started wearing his socks." -- New York
Daily News

"... a diary of dashed expectations and the compromises that rose
from the remains—a look at marriage so honest you can
practically hear the crunch of worlds colliding." -- Minnesota Monthly

"Patterson explores the transition from thinking like an
independent single person to melding her life with a spouse.
Money, trust, sex, crabbiness, mothers-in-law, character flaws,
companionship, love, opposing cleaning routines — everything
that comes up after happily ever after — are covered here with raw
honesty." -- The Pioneer Press

"If women are soothed by 52 Fights, men probably would be well-
served with a woman-to-English dictionary.  That way when they
hear their honey tell them she'd like to change the curtains in the
kitchen, they'd know what she's really saying is, 'The windows are
dirty, the roof leaks, the lawn needs to be mowed, and you snore.'"
-- The Chicago Tribune
