"You Say Tomato, I Say Shut Up: A Love Story shows how hectic, hard
and hilarious married life can be. Spanning friendship, courtship,
marriage and parenthood, Annabelle Gurwitch and Jeff Kahn's "he
said/she said" memoir at times reads like a mix of couples therapy
and "Real World" confessionals for grown-ups. Only funnier and
heavier."-The Washington Post
"This book is a must-read for couples and singles alike. Finally, a
married couple that doesn't hide behind such tedious traits as
personal loyalty, good taste, and an overall sense of decorum.
You Say Tomato, I Say Shut Up tells people what marriage is
really like!"-Liz Tucillo, co-author of He's Just Not That
Into You and author of How to Be Single
"So funny because it is so accurate. Kahn and Gurwitch illuminate
the insanity of marriage. They make you want to embrace your spouse
for the same reason you want to strangle them."-Ben Stiller
"Although after eleven and a half years of pure, uninterrupted
marital bliss I don't relate at all to the subject matter, I still
found Jeff and Annabelle's book to be hilarious."-Judd Apatow
"As someone who has never married or ever understood why anyone
would,would, I feel I can say with authority that this is the
finest, funniest, most insightful book I've ever read about a
subject I'm completely unqualified to comment about."-Bill
Maher
"The far right believes that marriage should only be one man plus
one woman. But they are oh so wrong. Marriage should only be
between two funny people, and Jeff and Annabelle are the shining
examples of this new marriage movement."-Carol Leifer
"Damn, marriage isn't supposed to be this much fun! If anyone is
going to save marriage, it won't be James Dobson-it'll be Annabelle
Gurwitch and Jeff Kahn."-Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Nickel
and Dimed
"Oh, now I get it. This whole sham of a marriage was not just for
tax purposes, it was also to write and sell this immediately
engaging book! I remember when Jeff first told me about Annabelle
and the hazy, humid thermal cloud she wrapped his head in. I
thought he was nuts. Turns out I was right (see pages 1-250). After
reading this book, I feel sorry for both of them now. And that's
quite an accomplishment."-David Cross, author of I Drink for a
Reason
"He said tomato, she said shut up, and I took a Vicodin to ease the
pain from laughing so hard."
-Sandra Tsing Loh, author of Mother on Fire and A Year in
Van Nuys
"We're just not that into us."--Annabelle Gurwitch and Jeff Kahn
