review 1: Fun.Julie Gerstenblatt is a former middle school English teacher who realized that it was time to leave the classroom when a lengthy stint on jury duty felt like the highlight of her career. As a comedy and culture writer for The Huffington Post and a humor columnist for The Scarsdale Inquirer and Scarsdale10583.com, Julie writes with candor about her life, her friends and family, and the particular demands of motherhood and wifedom in modern-day suburbia. Julie holds a doctorate in education from Columbia University. She and her husband live with their two children in Scarsdale, New York. Although she would love to live in the city, suburbia is the inspiration for most of her funny ideas, and so she will remain in Westchester until her neighbors kick her out. Lauren Takes... more Leave is her first novel.
review 2: This was a book I got free on my Kindle. It wasn't the best, but it was cute. I could relate to the story. It is about a woman who is frustrated with her life and when she gets picked for jury duty, she is excited to get to miss work and her family for a few days. When the case settles the next day, she is bummed about having to go back to work, so she tells everyone she is still on jury duty. Then she takes some time and just goes off doing her own thing for a few days, trying to figure out some things.I can understand, because almost everyday of my life I want to take "leave". less
