{"product_id":"you-say-tomato-i-say-shut-up-isbn-9780307463784","title":"You Say Tomato, I Say Shut Up","description":"In this hilarious and ultimately moving memoir, comedians and real-life married couple Annabelle Gurwitch and Jeff Kahn prove that in marriage, all you need is love—and a healthy dose of complaining, codependence, and pinot noir.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAfter thirteen years of being married, Annabelle and Jeff have found “We’re just not that into us.” Instead of giving up, they’ve held their relationship together by ignoring conventional wisdom and fostering a lack of intimacy, by using parenting as a competitive sport, and by dropping out of couples therapy. The he-said\/she-said chronicle of their intense but loving marriage includes an unsentimental account of the medical odyssey that their family embarked upon after their infant son was diagnosed with VACTERL, a very rare series of birth defects. Annabelle and Jeff’s unforgivingly raw, uproariously funny story is sure to strike both laughter and terror in the hearts of all couples (not to mention every single man or woman who is contemplating the connubial state).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eServing up equal parts sincerity and cynicism, \u003ci\u003eYou Say Tomato, I Say Shut Up \u003c\/i\u003eis a laugh-out-loud must-read for everyone who has come to realize that being “in love” can only get you so far.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOn Cohabitation\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHe says: \u003c\/b\u003e“Within days of Annabelle’s arrival, I became very aware that she demanded solitude and had the housekeeping habits of a feral animal.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShe says: \u003c\/b\u003e“The guy had some sort of nudity radar.

On every corner of my ass there was a new branch of ass opening up.”\"You Say Tomato, I Say Shut Up: A Love Story shows how hectic, hard and hilarious married life can be. Spanning friendship, courtship, marriage and parenthood, Annabelle Gurwitch and Jeff Kahn’s \"he said\/she said\" memoir at times reads like a mix of couples therapy and \"Real World\" confessionals for grown-ups. Only funnier and heavier.”—The Washington Post \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This book is a must-read for couples and singles alike.
