Underpaid, overworked, underwhelmed by the lack of options, and almost over her married ex-boyfriend, twenty-five-year-old Lisa Diodetto desperately needed a change. At the urging of her cousin and lifelong friend, Dodie, Lisa leaves her New York City job and Italian-American New Haven neighborhood to make a fresh start in upstate New York working for a pharmaceutical company.

Enter Mr. Eben Strauss, Vice President of Corporate Development. A man of careful composure, a restrained sense of humor, and impeccable manners. A man who would steer clear of a young woman with a hot temper, a smart mouth, a crazy family, and a wild past. A man surprisingly attracted by, and attractive to, Lisa.

Brilliantly capturing how love forces people to confront the truth about themselves and their pasts, "Pink Slip" is a funny, sharp, and ultimately moving novel about the difficulties of intimacy and the imperfections of love.
