Mandy Stadtmiller is a comedian and columnist for The Daily Beast who has written for New Yorkmagazine, the New York Post, the Washington Post, TimeOut,Maxim, Penthouse, xoJane, and many more. She lives in New York with her husband.

Mandy Stadtmiller comes to Manhattan in 2005, newly divorced, thirty years old, with a job at the New York Post, ready to conquer the city, the industry, and love in one fell swoop. Like a “real-life Carrie Bradshaw” (so called by Jenny McCarthy), she proceeds to chronicle her fearless attempts for nearly a decade in the Post,xoJane, and New York magazine.

But underneath the glitz and glamour of her new life, there is a darker side threatening to surface. Mandy goes through numerous unsuccessful, high-profile hookups in the New York comedy and writing scene. There are soon too many nights she can’t remember, and the blind spots start to add up. She begins to realize that falling in love won’t fix her—she needs to fix herself first.

With hysterical insight, unabashed sexuality, and unprecedented levels of raw, honest pain, Unwifeable a book that you can’t help but respond and relate to, and one you won’t soon forget.
