PRAISE FOR HARD TO DO

‘With steady and incisive historical mapping and expertly deployed wit, Kelli Korducki both sheds light on the modern mythological creation of the breakup as a cultural mainstay and offers readers alternative possibilities of how love, independence, and agency might shape our worlds.’

– Alana Massey, author of All the Lives I Want: Essays About My Best Friends Who Happen to Be Famous Strangers

‘The decision to break out of a decent romantic relationship almost always feels like an act of revolution, especially for women – so why has it never been defined that way? Hard To Do takes an illuminating, fastidious, and humorous look at the acts and facts that conspire to keep us from choosing anything other than the status quo. It’s a crucial and compelling inquiry into the alternate definitions of what it means for a woman’s life to “work out.”’

– Kathryn Borel, Jr., author of Corked: A Memoir

‘In Hard To Do, Kelli Korducki grapples with capitalism, patriarchal society, and the historical course of love and marriage as she investigates how women today often find ourselves caught between dueling desires – for love, for security, for the achievement of our own independent ambitions, for a lack of ambivalence – as we navigate romance in a world that hasn’t exactly considered what we want to factor very highly into the equation. Merging her own story with keen analysis, Korducki asks what it takes to be true to ourselves now. This book will make you smarter about love, money, and whatever path you choose.’
