First sentence: My ex still lives in the house we bought together before we were married, a small yellow bungalow where he has lost the war against junk mail, a war I'd spent fighting every day of our marriage.
Description: "Divorce has become, for better or for worse, a social institution. With over 20 million divorces in America alone, it's time we stopped defining the ex-relationship by what it isn't - a marriage - for what it is: a new kind of sustained relationship.".

"Karen Karbo, the Erma Bombeck of her generation, has eagerly accepted the challenge. Generation Ex is her wildly funny, at times painfully accurate, portrayal of a life rife with "exes": ex-husbands, ex-wives, ex-exes, and, of course, the children of exes.".

"Generation Ex tells the stories of women who have survived dating, a first marriage, subsequent divorce, and re-marriage. They're a bit older, wiser, more secure; and still they manage to find themselves in the middle of some rather messy situations."--BOOK JACKET.
