Now Go Away: Confessions of a Woman with a Smartphone" is a thoroughly modern concept, a book drafted entirely on a phone. On the bleachers, in the bathroom -- anywhere she could, with any time she could find, Dawn pulled her smartphone from her purse and let her thumbs do the walking, tapping out a side-splitting romp through midlife in the Midwest. Hey -- she loves her family. She can even tolerate her co-workers. But sometimes, they drive her nuts. They use all the toilet paper. They drink all the coffee.

These are the stories Dawn tells in this hilarious humor collection, perfect for any woman who's busy and frazzled and ready for a break. "I Love You. Now Go Away: Confessions of a Woman with a Smartphone" is a fast-paced, raunchy, guilty pleasure, just like a nice box of wine.
