“My Miserable, Lonely, Lesbian Pregnancy, Andrea Askowitz’s brilliantdebut memoir, is the exact kind of thing I’m always looking for at the bookstore—something that reads like an intimate yet super funny, painfully true letter from my very best friend. Andrea is like a girl version of David Sedaris or Augusten Burroughs—mining perfect comedic moments from the very worst of life’s offerings. You don’t have to be miserable, lonely or a lesbian to completely relate to the hilarious journey that is Andrea’s life.”
–Jill Soloway, author of Tiny Ladies in Shiny Pants, writer/co-executive producer of Six Feet Under and much more.
