I'm thrilled to finally announce the release date for The Roast. You are cordially invited to join the party on October 4, 2021. Can't wait? Me neither. Here's an excerpt to tide you over. Stay tuned for more inside info.
“Oh, Tess. Don’t cry. Remember—this too shall pass.” Leah’s drawl is so thick the statement sounds like a sampler embroidered on a pillow in her grandmother’s South Carolina parlor.
“Yeah, it might pass like a kidney stone, but it will pass.” Carrie laughs and picks up her phone, taps a button, and repeats the phrase.
Yup, she records what she considers clever quotes. I wonder if she’s planning a career in stand-up or plotting a tell-all memoir. Both are possibilities with her, and each scare me equally.
“Geez, Care, the joke wasn’t that funny.” Mel waves her hands in the air. “If you want a good one, try this—Life is not a fairy tale. If you lose your shoe at midnight, you’re a sloppy drunk.”
“Heard that one before,” Alexa says.
“How
about an Adam roast?” Rory asks. “We should stop calling him your Ex. We should
call him your Y. Like why did you date him?”
