| In our opinion, book nerds are the funniest people we know. If you need evidence, look no further than these tweets. For Your Reading List Like any good mystery, Taffy Brodesser-Akner's Fleishman Is In Trouble begins with a missing woman: Toby Fleishman's wife, Rachel, has apparently — in the midst of their contentious divorce proceedings — dropped their kids off at his apartment in the dead of night and disappeared. What follows next is Toby's attempts not only to figure out what has happened to Rachel, but also to understand just how his marriage of 15 years went so badly off the rails. "Is a marriage that ends doomed from the start?" Toby wonders as he grapples with Rachel's absence alongside the demands of childcare and dating apps. As the novel's ensuing examination of all the unsexy, logistical trappings of marital life makes clear, the real mystery at stake is why we still bother with this whole marriage thing in the first place.
