    Praise For CITY MOUSE: A Novel

    "A hilarious book about the city vs. suburb divide."
    New York Post

     

    "Lender sharply portrays the corrupt privilege of upper-middle-class suburbanites, and with a twist of her pen, the Stepford Wives take the upper hand over their husbands...the climactic explosion takes everyone by surprise. A bracingly tart portrait of suburban hell."
    Kirkus Reviews

     

    "Lender’s debut novel is positively irresistible. It’s hilarious and insightful and just the type of book any city girl needs to tote to her vacation rental this summer. Would love to see a big-name star bring this to network TV."
    Daytime Confidential

     

    “City Mouse is a sharp and sophisticated novel of suburban life with a narrative voice that is equal parts witty, observant, and vulnerable. A wonderful debut!”
    —Susan Isaacs, New York Times best-selling author

    Bio:

    STACEY LENDER grew up in the suburbs of New York City with a god-awful perm and later graduated from Cornell University. She is an author, mom, and marketer for brands including the Rockettes, Big Bird, Bugs Bunny, the Grinch, and American Gladiators, among others. As a writer, she likes to tell stories that explore what’s beneath the surface of the everyday. Female-driven, fiercely funny (or just fierce), her goal is to stir conversation and engage audiences to think about what drives their choices and beliefs. Stacey lives in Manhattan and has traveled to all 50 states.
