My Mother's Boyfriends: Stories

For lovers of Catherine Newman, Lorrie Moore, and Ottessa Moshfegh comes a debut collection of 14 insightful, witty, and often laugh-out-loud stories.

My Mother’s Boyfriends is populated by angels, earthquakes, sibling complexity, love affairs gone bad, and children left to figure it out on their own. Woven throughout is an abiding sympathy for the mess-ups, bad choices, and missteps humans make despite their best intentions.

“Witty and utterly enchanting.” —Vendela Vida, author of We Run the Tides

"In My Mother's Boyfriends, Samantha Schoech writes with precision, grace, and considerable wit on subjects ranging from the magical to the mundane. Packed with sharply observed characters and surprising sentences that masterfully turn a story inside out, this collection is as unsettling as The Big One, but so much more fun. These are voices you'll hear in your head long after you've closed the book. A terrific read with a big San Francisco heart." —Michelle Richmond, bestselling author of The Marriage Pact and The Wonder Test
