Praise for Caprice Crane’s novels FAMILY AFFAIR “Perceptive, touching, and always hilarious, this is Caprice Crane’s best work yet. It’s an irresistible story with equal parts humor and heart.” —EMILY GIFFIN, New York Times bestselling author of Love the One You’re With “The phrase ‘You don’t marry the man; you marry his family’ has never rung so true. Family Affair is so full of heart and humor, you’ll want to squeeze into the family station wagon and sit shotgun for the ride.” —STEPHANIE KLEIN, New York Times bestselling author of Straight Up and Dirty and Moose “With a finely tuned ear for dialogue and a biting sense of humor, Family Affair is another winner. Crane is masterful at creating lovably flawed characters and placing them in hilariously relatable predicaments. I simply adored this book because no one does fiction funnier than Caprice Crane.” —JEN LANCASTER, New York Times bestselling author of Pretty in Plaid “An unflinchingly honest, fiercely funny, unexpectedly tender story of a marriage between two very appealing people you’ll root for every step of the way.” —MELISSA SENATE, author of The Secret of Joy “Hilarious and sharp, with perfect emotional pitch, Family Affair provides everything Caprice Crane fans have come to expect—freshness, truth, and fun.” —LANI DIANE RICH, author of Wish You Were Here “This is a clever and unique take on the romantic comedy—witty, touching, and often laugh-out-loud funny. I loved it.” —ALISON PACE, author of City Dog FORGET ABOUT IT “So funny and wise, I forgot about my own problems while reading it.” —VALERIE FRANKEL, author of Thin Is the New Happy “So clever I wish I had amnesia so I could read it again for the first time.” —JEN LANCASTER “Another triumph for the author … Jordan’s transformation from subservient to assertive is incredibly fun and empowering.” —Romantic Times “Savage wit and breathtaking tenderness … Caprice Crane has romantic comedy in her DNA.” —JEFF ARCH, Oscar-nominated screenwriter of Sleepless in Seattle “Hilarious … delightful from start to finish.” —STACEY BALLIS, author of The Spinster Sisters STUPID AND CONTAGIOUS “Definitely not your mother’s chick lit … filled with one hilarious and clever surprise after the next.” —Romantic Times “With this winning romantic comedy, former MTV head writer Crane delivers a first novel reminiscent of Laura Zigman’s bestselling Animal Husbandry. Crane makes light comedy, usually so difficult to create and sustain, look effortless.” —Booklist “Crane’s … style of writing is both endearing and hysterically funny.” —Star Magazine “A truly exceptional book—funny, twisted, clever, mean, and always brilliant.” —ANNA MAXTED, author of A Tale of Two Sisters “So much fun … snappy dialogue … Crane’s giddy, playful prose feels fresh.” —Publishers Weekly “Heaven Albright, the irrepressible and sexy heroine, is bursting with humor that is smart and infectious.” —BRIAN DOYLE-MURRAY, co-writer of Caddyshack “Stupid and Contagious is anything but stupid and is completely contagious. Infectious, riotous, and hip beyond belief, it’s a great read.” —ISABEL ROSE, author of The J.A.P. Chronicles “A witty romantic comedy debut.” —Kirkus Reviews “Smart and feisty! Milk-snorting funny and playfully intriguing! Love it!” —KAREN SALMANSOHN, author of The Bounce Back Book “Insanely funny and outrageous, Stupid and Contagious effortlessly captures the glorious awkwardness of becoming who you are, finding that special someone who drives you crazy, and ultimately following your dreams wherever they may take you.” —ERICA KENNEDY, author of Bling “Caprice Crane’s writing is so cool, I feel like the geek girl stalking her locker, trying to slide a mix CD through the slats before she spots me. Stupid and Contagious is hilarious and insightful. A book with its own soundtrack, this is one not to miss.” —PAMELA RIBON, author of Why Moms Are Weird “Caprice Crane brings her respect for music and all of its universal sentiment into her stylish, page-turning, sharp-tongued debut novel.” —LIZA PALMER, author of Seeing Me Naked “Caprice Crane rocks! This is the best book I’ve read in a long, long time. Sharp, original, and wickedly funny, this is a must-read. I absolutely loved it.” —JOHANNA EDWARDS, bestselling author of How to Be Cool ALSO BY CAPRICE CRANE Stupid and Contagious Forget About It For my fabulous grandmother Betty Yaeger, whose antics are only forgiven because she firmly believes she’s the queen of England—or some facsimile thereof. The woman who at ninety-three years old said to my mother the night before her most recent birthday, “Why is everybody celebrating you? I’m the one who went through all the suffering and the labor.” A truly magnificent one-of-a-kind being, whom I adore despite—and because of—all she is. This one’s for you, Grandma.
