I miss it already.�� -- Ann Patchett, author of This Is the Story of a Happy Marriage and Commonwealth'Mary Laura Philpott is a writer, artist, and creator of singular spark and delight.

Wry, intelligent, and searingly honest, this book is a joy.'� -- Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney, author of The Nest�I Miss You When I Blink is a delightful, thought-provoking collection of essays, written with such spark and vulnerability that I was alternately laughing out loud and gasp-sighing at its poignancy.

It's easy to connect with her honesty, and damn fun to laugh at her jokes. This book is totally irresistible!' -- Edan Lepucki, author of California and Woman No. 17'I've spent my adult life prowling bookshelves for the modern day reincarnation of my favorite authors--Nora Ephron, Erma Bombeck, Jean Kerr, and Lawrie Colwin--all rolled into one....Good news: I have finally found their successor....refreshingly honest and funny...her real gift lies in making the connection between the small moments and the big ones, so you feel you've walked into a complicated, glittering web...delicious.', The Washington Post'Be forewarned that you'll laugh out loud and cry, probably in the same essay.�Philpott�has a wonderful way of finding humor, even in darker moments.
