MMarch Monroe and her daughter Olivia are going to college. Not together at the same school, of course, just at the same time. March knows that Olivia is going, naturally, since she and her husband have just made their first exorbitant tuition payment. But Olivia doesn’t exactly know the arrangement . . . yet. It’s not as if March plans never

to tell her; she just figures she’ll wait a bit––until they’ve had a little time to miss each other. So imagine Olivia’s surprise when one day she shows up for training at a local radio station and finds out that one of the other interns is . . . her mother.

Sharing an internship with her royally ticked-off daughter is not March’s only new challenge. Among the multiple decisions on her mind are what to do about a slightly tired marriage, a fourteen-yearold son who probably won’t be speaking to her for much longer, and a midlife crush, not to mention Quantum Physics and You––the class that just might put her over the edge. Laugh-out-loud funny, Multiple Choice is an effervescent novel of family life that will strike a chord with women everywhere––whether they have kids in college or are just now choosing their own majors.

Multiple Choice was a barnesandnoble.com Book Club pick and a Book-of-the-Month Club and Literary Guild selection.

"This book is funny, funny, funny! When a mother and daughter are attending college at the same time and run into each other, it is bound to result in embarrassment, frustration, and challenging moments for both. I don't even have children, and I could totally relate to both characters. The multiple choice chapter headings are fabulous!"

"This is an absolutely fabulous book about how parents connect - or don't --- with their teenage children. I guarantee you won't be disappointed."

"Claire Cook has created another fun read. This time we fall in love with March Monroe, an everyday woman who is struggling with the questions many middle-aged women ask: `Is this where I thought I would be at this point in my life?' and `How did I get here?' She struggles to balance her life as a mother and a new student and we get to see the humorous side effects.”
