Book Description

January 17, 2004
A charming parody of P.D. Eastman's beloved 1960 children's classic, Are You My Mother?,
Are You My Husband? follows the adventures of Little Chick, who wakes up one day to discover she is thirty-horrors!-and-even worse-still single. Greatly concerned about her "eggs," Little Chick embarks on a quest to find a husband. Her search takes her from swing-dancing class (where all the guys are practicing for their weddings) to her high school reunion (where she remembers why she didn't meet her husband there in the first place), from the Internet (where she fails a Prince fan's mysterious lyrics test) to AA (where her self-esteem just isn't low enough). She even tries the oh-so-gorgeous guy at the gym, but it turns out he's looking for a husband, too.

Ultimately, Little Chick comes to realize that love, like life, has to happen on its own timetable, and until it does, maybe being single isn't so bad after all.

In the tradition of Looking for Mr. Right and Even God is Single So Stop Giving Me a Hard Time, this newest bit of chick lit is the perfect anti-Valentine for any woman who's been asked one too many times, "So, when are YOU getting married?"

By 
Jen J (Indianapolis, IN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Are You My Husband?: I Can Find Him All by Myself (Hardcover)
This witty parody is the perfect Valentine for all your girlfriends, from the bitter anti-Valentinas to those still nursing hope to those who've already bought themselves the entire self-help section. What more do you want? This site doesn't deliver chocolate, does it?

4.0 out of 5 stars funny but sadly true, April 11, 2004
By 
Renaaah "Renaaah" (Bronxville, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Are You My Husband?: I Can Find Him All by Myself (Hardcover)
Hilarious! A chick looking for her husband, from ballroom dance classes to AA meetings with amusing results. Does she find him? I don't want to ruin the surprise! Suffice to say, along the journey, she realizes that whether or not she finds The Man, she can lead a fulfilling, rich life.
