The Sweet Life

Susan Poulin, the "funniest woman in Maine," is back from Finding Your Inner Moose to show us all how to keep all our relationships sweet, simple, and easy. In The Sweet Life, Poulin (through her popular alter-ego and stage character Ida LeClair) offers a fresh view on love, marriage, and dating through a combination of sassy stories and serious advice. Whip-smart yet down-to-earth, the book strikes the perfect balance between humorous and heartfelt. Reading The Sweet Life feels like talking to an old friend—one with great advice, plenty of experience, and a few great recipes to boot.
