"A story that explores how individual identity and happiness can be
unintentionally misplaced in marriage and motherhood." --Kirkus
Reviews
"Engaging debut...there's a lot to enjoy in this thoughtful
outing." --Publishers Weekly
"Both insightful and messy in the most relatable way, None of This
Would Have Happened If Prince Were Alive will have you cackling,
nodding in agreement, and rooting hard for Ramona as she battles
various storms -- literal and figurative." --Laura Hankin, author
of A Special Place for Women and Happy and You Know It
"It's not often you read a book that makes you laugh and makes your
heart pound with excitement but Carolyn Prusa's debut does just
that. Her heroine Ramona uses humor and her love for pop star
Prince to navigate dueling crises in her life and takes a
surprisingly poignant journey along the way." --Laurie Gelman,
author of Smells Like Tween Spirit and Class Mom
"A keenly observant, fast-paced comedy that illustrates just how
tough it can be - as Prince would say - 'to get through this thing
called life.' Finding humor in heartbreak, Prusa presents a
strong-willed heroine who copes with one indignity after another,
from the acutely embarrassing to the brutally life-changing, all
while dodging in and out of the path of an oncoming hurricane."
--Amy Poeppel, author of Musical Chairs
"Fans of Amy Poehler and Maria Semple, rejoice! Carolyn Prusa has
written an absolute hit. Wry, charming, and all too real, this is a
laugh-out-loud gem of a novel." --Beck Dorey-Stein, New York Times
bestselling author of From the Corner of the Oval
