"Ariel Leve is the love child of David Sedaris and Fran Leibowitz. An original and funny voice.... Insightful and sharp." -- Joan Rivers "Ariel Leve is brilliant and funny and the only other person I know without an oven. Buy this book and keep it close." -- Bill Nighy "Funny, smart, delightfully cranky"(AJ Jacobs) Ariel Leve's Sunday Times Magazine (London) column "Cassandra" moves to book form. It Could Be Worse, You Could Be Me offers a humorously bleak perspective on life's potential to turn out badly... and Ariel's innate ability to put the black cloud into the silver lining. This is a book for schadenfreude aficionados; for readers who identify with Cassandra's slogan, "worrying is my yoga"; and for fans of Seinfeld, Ugly Betty, Sex & the City, Curb Your Enthusiasm, David Sedaris, Woody Allen, and New Yorker cartoons.
