I'm With Stupid

by Elaine Szewczyk

[Kim Deister]

I'm with Stupid is a hysterical account of what can happen when a vacation fling goes wrong. Recently jilted by her boyfriend, Kas Sienkiewicz is whisked away by her two best friends, Max and Libby, to a luxurious South African resort. Suffering from a deflated ego, Kas indulges in a hot fling with a gorgeous park ranger, William, at her friends' urging. Convinced he is out of her leage, Kas returns to NYC and her job at a small, struggling literary agency. When she gets an unexpected email from William, she is thrilled,... until she reads it. The William from South Africa is clearly not the same William emailing her. When he shows up in NYC, he is convinced that Kas has invited him to live with her and Kas doesn't know how to tell him otherwise. The journey Kas takes as she tries to deal with her new eccentric roommate, and her Polish immigrant family's reaction to him, is hysterical.

I bought this book for my Sony Reader when I saw it on special. Being a debut novel, I had no idea what to expect. It was a delightfully funny read that had me giggling out loud in public. The characters were light and funny, completely eccentric, and totally believable. Although it was a lighter read, there were definately some deeper subplots that kept it from being too light. Pick this book up!
