Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
A debut collection of short stories about women of all ages and their relationships with men, families and themselves.

From Library Journal
Thomas's stories are about women and how they relate to men. A variety of women-young, old, weak, strong, happy, and sad-figure vividly in scenarios that focus on the men, or lack of men, in their lives. Like some relationships, Thomas's stories seesaw between poignancy and slapstick. Her style is fresh and clean, and she captures the adolescent hormonal battle, the accidental pregnancy, the May-December romance, and the casual encounter with wit and humor. Her knowing voice will strike a chord of recognition in most women, and who knows what insights male readers might uncover. Recommended for general audiences.

5.0 out of 5 stars
quirky stories,
By michigan jean "jeanps" (MI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Getting Over Tom (Paperback)
I really, really liked this book. Is it great literature? No, but it's one heck of a fast read and hard to put down. As a rule, I'm not crazy about the short story category but I found this one addicting. I found myself wishing I could meet some of the characters.

This review is from: Getting Over Tom (Paperback)
I read this book a few years ago, and probably finished it in 1 day. It was so funny and wonderful. Her short stories are so well written. The first one is especially hilarious, and brought back "fond" memories of Italian treats from my childhood... an enjoyable, warm book.

Wonderful! Worth reading again,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Getting over Tom (Hardcover)
I read about this book in a magazine when it was published. I liked the catchy title so I went out and bought it. When I got it home I immediately began reading the book and couldn't put it down. The book reveals emotions that I could relate to which kept me reading more. I have re-read this book three times and have encouraged my friends to also read it. Once you start the book, you can't put it down!
