Media Reviews
It's fun; it's smart; it's sassy, and it's about a subject most women have no problem relating to: the other woman. We love it...Zigman's dialogue is witty and right on... [Her] will win you over, give you something to smile about (in the end) and give the little green monster in all of us a chance to get out of his cage, if only for a short while.
-Michelle Rupe Eubanks, TimesDaily (Alabama)

Her is a bitter gem...taut and gripping, true and painful.
- City Paper (PA)
This is one rampaging hoot of a book, likely to strike a resounding chord with anyone who has ever felt a reluctant and horrid fascination with the 'ex' of [his/her] significant other. It's witty, snappy, a bit disquieting and always hugely entertaining, even when the heroine for whom you are rooting runs totally amok....The fun here is in the details....A romp of a tale.
- The Seattle Times /Post Intelligencer
Zigman is a smart writer, part Dorothy Parker, part Gilda Radner. [She] has perfect pitch in getting the comic details of urban women's lives and relationships, as well as the emotional mix of exuberance and loneliness, self-doubt and self-confidence, dreaming dreams and not giving up on them.
-Sandee Brawarsky, The Jewish Week
[A] delightfully frothy novel...Zigman's strength is creating lovably frazzled and charmingly insecure heroines...It's a fun ride...
- Chicago Tribune
In Zigman's zany romantic comedy Her, ex marks the spot . . . Her is as scary as it is funny. . . . A howl.
- USA Today
A captivating tale of jealousies and misconceptions.
- Booklist
Lively and funny. . . . Her is as addicting as Zigman's previouswork. . . Sharp, hilarious.
