![]() ![]() ![]() I really enjoy her honesty about the financial pressures and strains as she attempts to pass as “one of them,” especially during her stint dating the uber-rich preppy guy who “summers” in places like the Hamptons and Newport. For those of you interested in the logistical experience of picking up and moving to NYC without a trust fund, Mandy’s got you covered. ![]() For those of you interested in “the business,” you get to be a fly on the wall as she navigates the strange worlds of the Page Six literati: comics, writers, agents, fellow columnists, and a delightful number of A-through-D-listers (easily the most entertaining of which being Courtney Love). There’s something here for nearly everyone. And while the book’s title and cover art imply a dating confessional, it’s so much more than that. Readers get to join Stadtmiller on her (mis)adventures in dating her experiences range from accidental snort-laugh funny to heartbreaking to downright terrifying. We meet her just after a painful divorce from her hipster college sweetheart she’s headed to the City as a newly transformed “piece of ass” (thanks to the divorce diet) to start a job at the infamous New York Post. With the exception of the occasional flashback, her memoir covers 2005-2017. Unwifeable is the memoir of New York writer, columnist, comic, podcaster, reformed starf*cker extraordinaire Mandy Stadtmiller, though her story begins in Chicago and even takes readers on a brief jaunt to California. ![]()
