Rating: Summary: Every Day I Love This Book More(including today) Review: This is the kind of book that you can carry with you anywhere. Reading it bits at a time is like dipping into a box of cookies. Open any page and you are refreshed by the humor, warmth and humanness shared by Nancy Shulins. It is like having an understanding friend keeping you company throughout the day. It can get rid of boredome and loneliness in a moment. I would prescribe it as a quick antidepressant with reality orientation. Arnold Sadwin, MD Psychiatrist
Rating: Summary: Wonderful, delcious, laugh out loud fun Review: This is the most wise and honest look at love and long term relationships I've ever read. Not only did I give this book as a Valentine's gift to both my mother and my boyfriend's mother, but I've actually typed up essays in it to share with friends via email. I love this book. It is so beautifully written; it brought me to laughter and moved me to tears.
Rating: Summary: Enlightening Review: What a wonderful Book!!! Bought it a few years ago and have read it from cover to cover a few times. When I get into a funk with my relationship, I go back to the book and it helps to shed some light into my dark mood. It brings me back to a good spirit that I know that this is not only happening to me but to others has well. I totally recommend buying this and read it when you think you are in a bad relationship and want out. This book totally helped me see that I too can survive. Many of these stories help me and I can relate to many events that are told in the book. Thanks so much Nancy for writing this book. Are you writing a 2nd book?
Rating: Summary: A Book to Keep and Pass Around Review: When I came across Nancy Shulins's book, Every Day I Love you More, I was on a retreat from marriage, hiding out for a couple of hours in a bookstore. I'm not a fan of "relationship" books, but something about this one attracted me. (I think it was the subtitle--Just Not Today.)When I sat down to read, I was hooked. Had to buy the book. When I was done, marriage no longer seemed like the worst idea anyone had ever had.When I read her account of those days "when grotesque crimes of passion actually start to make sense," I was laughing and didn't stop. By the time I got to the part where her husband brings home bubble wrap as a gift, I began to realize that what I had been retreating from was not my partner but my sense of humor. These essays are not all about the author's marriage. She seems to have corralled all her friends, somehow convincing them to reveal the saddest,happiest, and most absurd moments in their own marriages. I think she must be one of those rare women people love to tell their stories to, then delight to see the spin she has put on them in print. If she produces a sequel, I have a story or two to tell her. How is this book different from others of its kind? It's way funnier, not at all smug, and far from authoritarian. I think that for her, marriage is something like a vaudeville act made up of flexibility, resilience, and a few pratfalls. As Nancy Shulins puts it, it's "a little song, a litle dance, a litle seltzer in your pants."
