Vincenzo Roberto

What happens when two people who love each other absolutely cannot agreeon the thermostat? Twenty-five years of marriage happens. The ThermostatWars is a hilarious, warmhearted humor memoir about the tiny, ridiculousbattles that prove you married exactly the right person - because onlythe right person could make you this crazy. Vincenzo Roberto has spent a quarter century locked in domestic diplomacywith his wife over everything that matters: whether knives go point-up orpoint-down in the dishwasher, whether cereal technically qualifies as soup, whether the thermostat should be set at her 74° or his perfectly reasonable68°, and whether Axl Rose forgot the words to Sweet Child O' Mine or waswriting abstract poetry.
Each chapter chronicles a different battle in theongoing negotiation that is married life - told with the self-aware humorof a man who knows he is almost certainly wrong but cannot stop making hiscase anyway. Structured as a dual narrative with her side included throughout, TheThermostat Wars captures the specific joy of arguing passionately aboutabsolutely nothing with the person you chose above everyone else.
Thesearen't the fights that end marriages. They're the ones that hold themtogether. Warm, funny, and deeply relatable, this book is for every couplewho has ever turned an argument about dishwasher loading into a love story. An ideal gift for newlyweds, anniversaries, Valentine's Day, or any couplewho still hasn't agreed on toilet paper orientation.
