Book Description
Watching her two nephews and a puppy named Thor for the weekend was supposed to be fun for Greenly Kendrick. Sweating to death at a never-ending baseball game while getting gum in her hair, soda down her shirt, and an ice cream pedicure wasn’t part of the deal. Neither is finding out the best blind date she’s ever stood up is there to witness it all. Longest. Weekend. Ever. Except it doesn’t stop at one crazy weekend. Embarrassment turns into mortification, a head wound, and being patch up by her amused knight in shining armor. Roman Carpenter can’t help laughing at Greenly’s mishaps, but for some reason, he sticks with her through it all. At least, until his ex-wife shows up and starts causing trouble. What started off as a strange, yet promising relationship, might be able to survive spiteful exes, but adding in a stalker that puts everyone on edge and pulls the police into the mix, might push everyone past their breaking point.

Book Description
Romance author Hannah Bircham had made it. She was living the dream; a successful writing career, a loving husband, and dream home. Life couldn't get better. But it could get worse. And it did. The dream ended. And life as she knew it took a turn into Destitute City, party of one. Divorced, lost, and worst of all, a neurotic anxiety-ridden mess, Hannah's focus and admirations disappeared. Feeling down on her luck, Hannah lost her mojo, her gift of writing. How did one write about love when they'd stopped believing in it? Hannah could either make up the perfect muse, or make it her mission to meet him. She just needed a little push. With encouragement from her best friend, Hannah decided to join a dating app, convinced she wouldn't find Mr. Forever, but maybe, at the very least, she'd find her inspiration. A muse. Enter Wren Marner. The complicated, sexy alpha veteran with his trunk of accomplishments and adventures walked, talked, and looked as if he'd just stepped out of a sultry romance novel. He was every woman's fantasy and at the same time, the man one knew they should stay away from. Filled with equal parts fear and fascination, Hannah threw caution to the wind, but what she experienced terrified her like never before. Still, she forged forward. But with all the wonder of Wren also came a reality Hannah didn't know how to handle. She told herself he was merely work, but the truth was she was falling for him. And that couldn't happen. But walking away from him wasn't possible either, when he was her muse. With her future on the line, she had to decide: As she entered the next chapter in her life, did she delve deeper with Wren in hopes of saving her career, or run in hopes of saving her heart?

Perspectives on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
Author: Amanda Konkle
Publisher: Syracuse University Press
ISBN: 0815655185
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
With an off-putting title and a decidedly retrograde premise, the CW dramedy Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is a surprising choice for critical analysis. But, loyal viewers quickly came to appreciate the show’s sharp cultural critique through masterful parody, and this strategy has made it a critical darling and earned it several awards throughout its run. In ways not often seen on traditional network television, the show transcends conventional genre boundaries—the Hollywood musical, the romantic comedy, the music video—while resisting stereotypes associated with contemporary life. The essays in this collection underscore the show’s ability to distinguish itself within the current television market. Focusing on themes of feminism, gender identity, and mental health, contributors explore the ways in which the show challenged viewer expectations, as well as the role television critics play in identifying a show’s “authenticity” or quality.
