Why read it?

1 author picked Fleishman Is in Trouble as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

From the first page I was caught up in the whirlwind of Toby’s post-marriage Manhattan—dating apps, sexting and catching up on years of fidelity—which all seems to be going very well until his ex-wife vanishes.

Then Toby Fleishman has to start getting to know Rachel Fleishman all over again, and in that search, himself.

The quirky narrative shifts from biting to moving to philosophical. Sharply observed and wildly entertaining.

From Ruby's list on midlife marriage meltdowns.
