Was It Something I Said - Softcover

Sonja Kindley Elle An infectious celebration of neurotic love. Hands down, irresistible.

Cosmopolitan A smart, sexy novel about love and life in New York City.

Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Brilliantly funny....Like a New York Jewish Hepburn and Tracy, Justine and Barry can make an uneventful evening at home crackle with wit and incident....

Entertainment Weekly Though the plot mirrors urban life all too well -- job-related kvetches, Blockbuster nights, spats in restaurants -- Block slyly chronicles the neurosis, annoyances, and chemistry that bind this unlikely, likeable duo.

Olivia Goldsmith Author of The First Wives' Club I've never read anything as amusing, current, and true-to-life. Valerie Block has managed to catch the stream of consciousness of a whole generation. What a hoot.

When Justine and Barry meet during a plane crash just before the Christmas holidays, the relationship that follows is wild, turbulent, and maybe, just maybe, a keeper. Justine is a pretty, smart, ambitious lawyer who's tired of being set up on lousy dates. Her eighteen-hour work days get in the way of finding Mr. Right, but she'd rather be home with her dog, drinking salad dressing for dinner and watching The Sound of Music on the VCR anyway. Barry is a good-looking food product manager living on the Upper West side with a rich roommate who is juggling three girlfriends at once but never has the rent. Barry seeks his soulmate, but the fact that he hasn't had a date in a year makes things a little tougher. A comic urban romance about the possibilities and impossibilities of love. Was it Something I Said? is a classic "will they or won't they?" for the nineties that will keep readers guessing until the very end.
