whip-smart, pacy, and truly hilarious. The Bridget Jones’ Diary for our times, you’ll probably read it in one sitting because that’s how good it is. * Stylist Magazine *
A salty, lively first novel… In the fine tradition of screwball-comedy brides[,] the book’s dialogue is crackling, bawdy and modern * New York Times *
I started reading Sunday morning, finished Sunday afternoon, have not laughed this hard or this much at a book since Bridget Jones’s Diary. It was wickedly smart, hilariously funny, sexy, clever, and stupidly accomplished for a first novel. In short, the most enjoyable read I have had in YEARS. I completely loved it. – Jane Green
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I Take You is the funniest book I’ve read all year. I drank four bottles of chardonnay by myself because I couldn’t get to a book club fast enough. Eliza Kennedy makes infidelity sexy again! – Gary Shteyngart
