Fleishman is in Trouble - Taffy Brodesser-Akner

Fleishman is in Trouble - Taffy Brodesser-Akner

He and she read

Successful talent agent Rachel Fleishman has separated from her physician husband, Toby.  One day, she drops their two children off at Toby’s apartment and seemingly disappears.

Most of the book is devoted to two intersecting stories, the narrators and the one the narrator tells about Fleishman.  Initially, I didn’t care for this style, but, near the end, the story pivots and the conclusion pulls it all together.

The author’s sense of humor is entertaining as she  looks at the dating life of today’s middle aged single male. Her perception of the middle aged woman in today’s society is achingly accurate.
