Review :
"Me Times Three is witty and wise, an irresistible dissection of love in the city".
-- "Joan Didion"
"A fresh and insightful romantic novel with a great heart. Ms. Witchel, with her keen observation and irony, redefines the world of single career women in Manhattan and finds compassion, dignity, and great humor. This is a novel of elegant skill and comic depth."
-- "Wendy Wasserstein, author of Shiksa Goddess"
"A funny and moving coming of age story that is an important recollection of a specific time in this city. It's a very real tale about trying to be somebody--about who you are, who you pretend to be and who you really want to be. It doesn't matter how old you are; if you're single, it's the truth. I loved it."
-- "Sarah Jessica Parker"
"A hilarious debut novel...It's a smarter, meatier Bridget Jones's Diary that you'll read in one sitting."
-- "Glamour"
"A sardonic, romantic comedy...entertaining [and] delectable."

"Deliciously wrought, with a fun twist and some lovely revenge along the way."
