There's a lot of well-deserved praise here (i.e., "Balmain has a gift for clever word play and for last-line reversals that elicit responses ranging from gasps to belly laughs.") that's absolutely blurb-ready. I'd bet a nickel, though, that Melissa's favorite phrase was "Four urine-soaked lines later. . ."
When he said that, "Despite her modesty, she is among the most accomplished poets writing light verse today," the reviewer hit the nail right on the head. Walking in on People is a really funny book.
Best,
Ed
