Reviews
"The début A Bit Much by Nashville's Lyndsay Rush is effervescent yet pithy, sometimes poignant, often vulnerable, and sprinkled with sass." --Southern Review of Books
"Irreverent...full of clever wordplay, deep feelings, and poignant observations about motherhood and the female experience." --SELF "Deeply relatable, and bursting with joy, whimsy, abandon, and true, unencumbered delight. Mary Oliver said 'you do not have to be good'; I feel like her drunk cousin has added: 'but you ARE already fabulous, right in this moment, just as you are.'" --Melanie Zanetti, actor and voice over artist "The wit! The wordplay! The teeny-tiny dagger embedded in the heart of every poem! Lyndsay Rush's collection is provocative, slyly observed, and legit laugh-out-loud funny. Every page is a f-ing delight. I LOVED it." --Sarah Knight, New York Times bestselling author of the No F*cks Given Guide self-help series "A Bit Much has the kind of warmth, wisdom, and wit that will leave you crying, laughing, or cry-laughing. Lyndsay Rush's poetry brilliantly blends both the playful and poignant parts of womanhood through sharp observations, creative wordplay, and killer punchlines, placing you back in the scenes of your life when you most needed to feel seen. Every woman who has been made to feel like they deserve less will cherish A Bit Much." --Kate Kennedy, New York Times bestselling author of One in a Millennial "Tender, smart, and downright funny." --Kate Baer, New York Times bestselling author of What Kind of Woman "Lyndsay's poems reinvent the tired societal messages women receive as feminist rallying cries. As funny as they are subversive, these poems will make you laugh, cry and share with all your friends." --Joy Sullivan, author of Instructions for Traveling West
