From the beloved O Magazine writer, observations on life and love that are insightful, moving, and “always, always spot-on hilarious” (Winston-Salem Journal).

Someone Will Be with You Shortly is a collection of witty, pointed, and poignant essays from beloved O Magazine columnist Lisa Kogan—who has been called “the Erma Bombeck of our generation” (Kelly Corrigan, New York Times-bestselling author of Tell Me More)—in which she brings her trademark humor to such real-life quandaries as single motherhood, aging, and sex.

“There’s laughter here, sure, but this book winningly rises above comedy to reveal a moving love for life.” —Time Out New York

“If Lisa Kogan didn’t exist, Nora Ephron would have to invent her. Like the tart-tongued yet lovable heroine portrayed in screwball romantic comedies, Kogan wears her heart on a sleeve that, like as not, was pulled from the bottom of her closet and could use a good dry cleaning . . . Kogan’s take on contemporary living is as irrepressibly savvy as a Prada diaper bag, as reassuringly satisfying as a PB-and-J sandwich.” —Booklist

“[Kogan’s] wry observations of everyday life will hearten you on your worst days, validate you on your best, and make you laugh any day at all.” —Martha Beck, New York Times-bestselling author of The Way of Integrity

“A delectable blend of wit, whimsy, pith, and poignancy. If David Sedaris were a girl . . . this is the book he’d write.” —Evan Handler, author of It’s Only Temporary
