Recensione:

Praise for Rebecca Campbell’s THE MARRIAGE DIARIES

“Hilarious...deep in the jungle of featherweight romantic intrigue...Campbell upped the ante.” — People (three out of four stars)

“Utterly contemporary. . . The Marriage Diaries is witty, saucy, vulgar, sexually explicit, scatological, insightful, and a lot of fun. Rebeccca Campbell brings a transforming burst of energy to the well-worn subjects of maritial ennui and infidelity. Her main characters could be cliches . . .but in Campbell’s hands they’re fresh, funny, real.”
— The Boston Sunday Globe

“...Enjoy the neat trick Campbell has pulled off: a really funny book about a realistically troubled relationship. Campbell paints a rich and multi-layered portrait of a loving, if slightly imperfect, marriage.” — Chicago Sunday Sun-Times

“[Campbell] offers a convincing depiction of marital ennui, infidelity, and reconciliation. Smart, emotionally honest entertainment. “
— Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review

“Campbell blends strained fidelity, the perils of parenting and a heaping dose of bodily-function jokes with a scathing British wit. . . Campbell has crafted a steamy springboard to what could be a fiery sequel.” — Publishers Weekly

“Brutally honest and wonderfully witty, The Marriage Diaries had me laughing and crying, often at the same time.” — Gemma Townley, author of Little White Lies

“As in all the best love stories, Campbell’s protagonists meet the challenges of intimacy with their wills as much as their hearts.” — Contra Costa Times

“...a witty examination of modern marriage and gender roles...” — Romantic Times Book Reviews
