This week's selection: This One is Mine by Maria Semple
Due out: July 31, 2014
Product Description taken from Amazon:
Violet Parry is living the quintessential life of luxury in the Hollywood Hills with David, her rock-and-roll manager husband, and her darling toddler, Dot. She has the perfect life--except that she's deeply unhappy. David expects the world of Violet but gives little of himself in return. When she meets Teddy, a roguish small-time bass player, Violet comes alive, and soon she's risking everything for the chance to find herself again. Also in the picture are David's hilariously high-strung sister, Sally, on the prowl for a successful husband, and Jeremy, the ESPN sportscaster savant who falls into her trap. For all their recklessness, Violet and Sally will discover that David and Jeremy have a few surprises of their own. THIS ONE IS MINE is a compassionate and wickedly funny satire about our need for more--and the often disastrous choices we make in the name of happiness.

Sounds like this book would be a good match for my sarcasm, lol.
Guess I'll have to give it a try when it's released ;)

Awe this sounds like such a good book! Is it the same author from "Where did ya go, Bernadette?" Because the covers look similar
