psAre you ready for a nervous breakdown yourself?  The real estate market, work, life, children, parents, errands, health, email, friends pulling you in a thousand directions?   The style and humor of this book makes it an easy read for those who need a good laugh.  This is the fourth book by Patrick Sanchez and it truly is laugh out loud funny.

This book is written by a man who seems to totally understand women (yes, that is right) and if you don't believe me read it for yourself.  Patrick is known for his on the ground research in Washington, DC - observing on the streets and shopping malls, restaurants, offices, emergency rooms, etc. where he writes his books about the area where he works and lives.  When he is writing a new book he looks for people to interview about the subject matter.  Whether it is their weight, plastic surgery, dating habits, work, shoes, et. al. he takes the time to understand not only the issues - but the feelings involved.   One time, he went to the Plus-size department at Saks Fifth Avenue to talk to the sales people and observe the differences as he noted that the plus sizes are often in the "basement". 

Good research, good humor...okay, maybe it is not so much about real estate, but there is a real estate agent in this new book!

Plus Sizes in the basement must be for the extra structural support of reinforced concrete floors required for the concentration of weight...  LOL
