Recently separated Toby Fleishman is enjoying his new life: liver specialist by day, kids every other weekend, rabid somewhat anonymous sex at night, until it's interrupted by the disappearance of his ex-wife forcing him to reckon with the real reasons his marriage fell apart, and to ask if the story he has been telling himself all this time is true . . . 

A searing, utterly unvarnished debut, Fleishman Is in Trouble is an insightful, unsettling, often hilarious exploration of a culture trying to navigate the fault lines of an institution that has proven to be worthy of our great wariness and our great hope.

"Brodesser-Akner’s debut is a referendum on marriage, friendship, and how we live (and love) right now.” -- People
