About The Seven Year Bitch
Paperback: 368 pages
Publisher: Riverhead Trade (May 3, 2011)
What’s a fabulously fun New York City girl to do when she finds herself in a matrimonial rut — disillusioned, sex life with her husband on the wane, and quickly turning into a big-time nag? No, she hasn’t gotten the seven-year itch — taking care of the kids and her husband and rarely feeling that her needs come first has turned her into a seven-year bitch.
That’s New York author Jennifer Belle’s deliciously provocative phrase for the boredom, anger, and hurt that can creep into even the best of marriages — and affect even the calmest of wives. In The Seven Year Bitch, Belle delivers a dead-on, raw, and hilarious account of motherhood and marriage, and discovers that the life you have is exactly the one you wanted.
“Brutally honest and a little outrageous—she loves the smell of her baby son’s dirty diapers and dreams of sex with the grim reaper—Isolde has grown increasingly disillusioned with marriage. Belle has once again invented a hilarious heroine.”
—Kirkus
“Jennifer Belle is an exceptionally funny writer.” –Time
