The Word on I’m with Stupid

“Girl gets boy and wishes she hadn’t in this funny, refreshingly irreverent confection.”
- People

“Szewczyk’s debut is a clever blend of Shakespeare and Sex and the City with a touch of Binnie Kirshenbaum for good measure.”
- Booklist

"Elaine Szewczyk is smart and funny, and knows that New York bars and African safaris have something important in common: When it comes to dating, it's a jungle out there. If you savor Sophie Kinsella or Lauren Weisberger, you'll want to add her to your reading list."
- Chris Bohjalian, author of Midwives, an Oprah Book Club pick, and Skeletons at the Feast

"Spirited, irreverent, bilious, and above all funny, Elaine Szewczyk’s bitter cocktail provides a much-needed antidote for the chick-lit genre."
- Adam Langer, author of Ellington Boulevard and Crossing California

Read Elaine's interview with Metromix New York.

"Fun romp."
- Chicago Tribune; picked as a 2008 Hot Summer Read

"[An] entertaining debut novel…with breezy prose, witty one-liners and goofball antics."
- Publishers Weekly

"Szewczyk's cheerfully caustic sense of humor is a delight…. Recommended for all popular fiction collections."
- Library Journal

“Why are pretty people often dumb? This timeless question is explored in Szewczyk’s riotous novel of love and low IQs, I’m with Stupid.”
-- Time Out New York

“The best summer (anti) love story.”
- Lifetime.com

“We’ve all heard the warnings about one night stands but seldom have they been as entertaining. Told with verve and quick wit, what also emerges is a delightful picture of just deserts, revenge and the value of good friends watching your back.”
- MonstersandCritics.com

"Often laugh-out-loud funny…a quirky, perverse take on dating that easily rises above the singleton genre competition."
- Kirkus Reviews

Thanks for not throbbing: A blogger expresses gratitude for Stupid sex scenes. Read on.

Trashionista did not trash I'm with Stupid.

"When Szewczyk's novel strikes the right comedy note, it's dead on and hilarious… Szewczyk's writing is fast paced and frenetic—at times it's like talking to a good friend with a mild case of ADD. Kas and her crew are a hoot and a half, and this debut author definitely shows tons of promise."
