 "“A Split Your
Pants, Laugh Aloud Hit” - Okay listen up folks, when
reading “Stressed in Scottsdale” make sure your bladder is
empty because due to excessive laughter you are likely to
pee your pants! Jean Rubin, portrayed as the witty
protagonist in “Stressed in Scottsdale” made her début in
Marcia Fine’s satire series beginning with “Gossip.com
followed by “Boomerang.” Fans of the award-winning author
can take delight in knowing Jean Rubin is back in all her
glory in this latest installment, as Fine continues to
create a chaotic and comical ambiance for her readers’
enjoyment..." - Barbara Watkins, Bookpleasures.com

"It made me laugh
from start to finish. You can easily relate to Jean if you are in
college or post-college. I see my stress through her and think
"thank god that's not me!" Jean is relateable as opposed to her
kooky friends and children. But they make life all the more
interesting. I really enjoyed the flow of the book but I thought the
ending was rather abrupt it seemed unfinished. Yes, the day is saved
time to relax but there's got to be something else just around the
corner that could have been alluded to! The authors sarcasm was
refreshing it's nice to hear a woman author who's not afraid to put
it out there. I really enjoyed the little stress tips at the
beginning of each chapter (they were so amusing)." - Rheanna,

"OMG! I seriously
thought I would pee my pants when reading this book. It is
so funny, and the author hits the nail on the head with
every chapter. You will find yourself nodding your head in
aggreement with her tales of caos. She uses witty humor
with politics, relationships and just about everything
else you can think of that can cause stress in your life.
She knows when to throw in the laugh out loud humor and
keep you interested in finishing it all in one sitting.
You will relate to alot of the story and find yourself
remembering some of the sassy comments for future use!" -

Stressed in
Scottsdale, award-winning author Marcia Fine’s satire will have you
laughing, crying and kvetching with leading character Jean Rubin
about the manic 24/7 lives so many of us are living. Think
Nora Ephron’s humorous writing style and add to it the wonderful
character of Jean Rubin and her take on serious issues such as the
environment, political corruption, mammograms, IVF and jobless kids,
all with a biting sense-of-humor.

would have me laughing with Alegra." - Janet Welk-Forsch

the story flowed, educating, while never getting bogged down in
excessive historical details. Totally enjoyable!" - Roxanne

"A mesmerizing account of the Jews in Spain and Portugal during
the Inquisition, the "Blind Eye" is important reading for everyone,
Jews and non-Jews alike. I couldn't put it down, and finished it in
two days. I've recommended it to several people, and it will make
wonderful gifts for family and friends." - Ellen De Domenico

 First-rate humor!
Jessica Leigh Lebos from Fairfax, CA United States,
Amazon.com
The beautiful, shiny people of Scottsdale receive another hilarious
send-up by Marcia Fine (her first book, GOSSIP.COM, infiltrated the
world of the fashionistas with a deft hand.)
Jeanne, a part-time English professor,
lives just on the outskirts of fabulous wealth, over-the-top parties
and the right zip code. Fortunately, she has generous friends who
invite her into the intrigue of nudist colonies and posh Sedona
getaways while she and her hard-working doctor husband live in the
real world of snotty bosses and grown children living at home -- in
this case, a slacker son and his pregnant girlfriend.
Fraught with one-liners that will give
you the giggles for days, BOOMERANG sluices through the
phony-baloney silliness of Scottsdale society to reveal what's true.
Excellent poolside reading, goes great with margaritas!
