The Kitchen Shrink

Review"She's not as funny as Marian Keyes, or as smart as Jennifer Weiner, or as gorgeous as that Emily Giffin. She does have weird sisters." --The Author's Mother, Phyllis Frampton"THE KITCHEN SHRINK is well-written, fast-paced and entertaining. I found myself laughing out loud, but there were tender moments, too! This is not a heavy book, it’s chick-lit wrapped up in humor." Reading Is Fashionable.
