"What makes this a satisfying read is the terrific writing,
which trancends gender, class year, and alma mater."
-Courier
 
"Mary Beth Ellis grabs the gold ring on this one. If you want to laugh, go for the ...Lasses. This girl's got talent. Whether you went to SMC, ND,
 or just need to split a side or two, get it!"
-Peter K. Connolly, ND '55
 
"I have never laughed so hard in my entire life!!!!!!...I really did scare my cat off my bed by bursting out with nearly hysterical laughter at the chapter titled
"Things To Do Between Weekends."
-Neysa S.
 
 "I laughed until I cried and laughed
some more... You are my next Erma Bombeck."
-Laura J.

"Truly a masterpiece."
-Karen H.

"Drink to the Lasses is responsible for people giving me weird looks on the train this morning.  I was reading it and couldn't help laughing out loud several times.  The rest of the time I had this big stupid grin on my face (not my normal state, I think the conductor didn't recognize me).  You made my commute much more enjoyable. 
My only regret is that I read it too darn fast."
-Jen Y.


 "Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Thanks for sharing so much of you and for making such a literary masterpiece. If it isn't on a bestsellers list, it should be. Bravo to you, and looking forward to many, many more."
-Barbara P.

"I read the whole thing in one sitting!  It was fantastic..."
-Katie R.

"Your book was waiting for me when I got home from work on Wednesday night.  I was finished with it before Grey's Anatomy started Thursday night (and I work full time).  When is your next one coming out? 
 
"I loved it.  Simple as that... Parts of it had me laughing so hard that my husband would come running into the room to make sure I was all right (Chapter 19, for example).  You have an uncanny way with words that made me feel like I was right there, experiencing everything right alongside of you. 
 
"Thank you for your frank, honest look into your own life, your own little nuances and the Womb.  As long as you keep blogging and writing books, you've got a reader for life!"
-Jennifer T.


"...the entire thing a marvel."
-Rose F.
