“Schumer’s strength is in her storytelling: having cultivated an ability to be funny, revealing and thought-provoking over 10 years performing stand-up comedy and on screen, she brings her wit and personal revelations to a new level of depth in The Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo. If you prefer to think of Schumer as a clown who walks “around at all times with a margarita in one hand and a dildo in the other,” skip this book entirely.”
Shannon, Publicity Assistant: I absolutely loved Amy Schumer's The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo. The balance between important issues and laugh-out-loud personal anecdotes won me over. I feel like I know her now.
Siobhan, Publishing Intern: My heart has been breaking bit by bit over the last few weeks as I have been working my way through Hanya Yanagihara’s A Little Life. Read it. You will fall in love with the characters and the depth of their pasts. But be forewarned, you will be forever changed for knowing this story. Breanna, Marketing Intern: I’m currently savoring the last pages of M.L. Stedman’s The Light Between Oceans. I highly recommend it to the reader who enjoys a love story dashed with a strong dose of “the sad.” The thought of Michael Fassbender portraying a very wounded Tom in the recent film adaptation, which I have yet to see, promises more heartache for me to look forward to.
