description: Sasha Schwartz is a hip twenty-nine-year-old advertising copywriter who became the company golden girl after creating the Bully Toilet Bowl cleaner "Had a dirty toilet, Used to scrub and brush, But now with Bully, All you do is flush."She thought she had it all until her fiance Bryce dumped her. "Bryce did love me. He told me he loved me. Maybe I heard wrong. Maybe all along he was saying 'I leave you, Sasha, I leave you so much.'"Without a man, Sasha is left to apply her marketing skills to self-promotion in order to find the ever elusive SWM (heterosexual and available).

New Age thinking, and old-fashioned values abound in this fresh nineties narrative of urban love. First-time novelist Karen Salmansohn takes the reader careening through the halls of the hilarious New York advertising world.50% Off humorously reveals the psyche of a new the fallout baby boomers who graduated the eighties with a degree from MTV as image-conscious, media-saturated, work-obsessed overachievers only to wake up single in the post-postmodern nineties still finding it hard to separate what they do from who they are. More important, how they can repackage themselves for each of life's events?
