"A riveting read, this novel will ensnare readers in the first chapter and not let up." --Kirkus Reviews"Inna Swinton is the Gary Shteyngart of chic-lit, capturing the contemporary Russian-Jewish immigrant experience with a light touch and a sharp eye." -- Sally Koslow
Mila Simon is having a meltdown. Newly separated from her investment banker husband, she chain-smokes in her Jewish immigrant parents' backyard in a New Jersey suburb while she plots her return to the Manhattan social scene. Ignoring the advice of therapists and well-meaning married friends, Mila embarks heart-first on a dangerous dating binge with a cell phone in one hand and a mojito in the other. Teetering on the edge the whole time, with only an opinionated Mama to rein her in, Mila is on a whirlwind quest for love and stability in the urban jungle.

About the Author:
INNA SWINTON was born in Riga, Latvia and immigrated to the United States as a child. After graduating from Yale University with a B.A. in literature, she received her J.D. from New York University School of Law. She has worked as a lawyer, a professional actress, and a standup comedienne. Inna currently lives in the New York area with her husband, three children, and a dachshund. This is her debut novel.
Review:
As a Russian, Mila believes she has a feel for the tragic, and she keenly hears the call of the void even from within her relatively happy marriage...Mila moves back in with her Russian Jewish parents, immigrants from Latvia, and begins a strange double life of being a broken daughter by day and a compulsive dater by night...Swinton has an ear for dialogue and a deep understanding of mental imbalance as well as the importance of family and the quirks of Russian Jewish immigrants in New York..A compelling story about the wrenching pain of divorce and the redemptive power of family ties. -Kirkus
