Wildly hilarious and occasionally heartbreaking, The Longest Date is Chupack's account of her failed first marriage to Perfect Man #1 (who, after two years, realised he was gay), meeting Perfect Man #2 (Ian), and their mutual realisation that matrimony is a matter of constant negotiation about cooking, holidays, space, money and sex. Her observations will ring true with women everywhere, and when Chupack recounts their ongoing struggle with infertility even the most hardened reader will be in tears.

"Laugh-out-funny and surprisingly poignant."
~Booklist
"A straight-talking, funny and poignant memoir."
~Kirkus Reviews
"The characters on 'Sex and the City' (for which Cindy Chupack wrote) could never wait to get together and share the most scintillating details of their romantic triumphs and tribulations. Opening Cindy's book is like getting invited to lunch with those women-the details are keenly observed, laugh-out-loud funny and you never want the meal to end."
~Cynthia Nixon
"If you need a new best friend-look no further! Cindy Chupack's wonderful book will make you laugh, cry, and feel less alone."
~Winnie Holzman
"Cindy's essays are dizzyingly good. They're funny, they're meticulously crafted, and you hardly notice she's doing a comedic equivalent of a ballerina's masterful pirouette. I laughed, I commiserated, I wanted more and more. Marriage is laid bare, negotiations, passion, uncertain leveraging, children, dogs and even boob-jobs are all covered with affection and brutal honesty."
