Summary

A darkly witty tale of one woman’s relationships with ten very different men on her road to finding The One… “A brilliant read.”—Cosmopolitan 
 
A bestseller in the UK, this novel follows an unnamed woman as she encounters ten men—also unnamed, aside from the nicknames she gives them. There is The Virgin, who wants her as his first but not necessarily his last; The Billionaire, a walking bankroll with a bankrupt heart; The Director, who won’t leave his wife; The Lover, who’s out of her head when he’s out of her bed; and a half dozen more—none of whom manage to meet her needs. 
 
As the years pass and she journeys from an island off France to Texas to England and beyond, our heroine learns a little bit more with each man she meets—and ultimately must figure out what’s missing in herself. 
 
“Funny and incisive.”—Candace Bushnell 
 
“Gray is a wry observer of love and of men.”—The Washington Post

    “Hands down, the best humor book about family life I have ever read.” —Nikki Knepper, author of Moms Who Drink and Swear   Comedian/blogger/family man Jason Good delivers a laugh-out-loud reminder that everything is easier and more fun when approached with a sense of humor—especially parenting. Each list in this book captures a perfect (or perfectly terrible) aspect of parenthood while at the same time wholeheartedly embracing every moment: “You Deserve a Break” offers ideas for downtime, such as giving blood and untangling cords, while “Self-Help from a Three-Year-Old” collects such wisdom as “If you fall down, stay down. Someone will pick you up eventually.” Sweet, sincere, and painfully funny, This is Ridiculous, This is Amazing is ideal for parents who could use a laugh—and isn’t that every single one of them?   “His blog is great, but his first book is even better.” —Parade   “Parents will appreciate Good’s offbeat outlook and quirky one-liners.” —Publishers Weekly
