Editorial Reviews
Review
"A road map for the times when you're not going anywhere. If I'd had this book back in the day, my lean and hungry years wouldn't have been so miserable. What am I saying? Of course they would have been miserable. But at least I would've had a good book."

-- Daniel Handler, aka Lemony Snicket, author of A Series of Unfortunate Events

"A great collection about those strange, confusing, slightly uncomfortable, exhilarating days. I laughed and I cringed. It almost made me want a 'chore wheel' again."

-- Beth Lisick, author of Everybody into the Pool

"Unflinching and hilarious, Before the Mortgage is mandatory reading for people of any age who've ever wondered if they are ill-equipped to live an adult life."

-- Laine Bergeson, Utne

"Read this well-done, funny, brutal collection of stories about young adulthood, and you will actually look forward to being a middle-aged suburban sellout."

-- Rodney Rothman, author of Early Bird
