PERFECTIONIST MOM TAKES DOING IT ALL TO THE NEXT LEVEL AS THE WORLD'S WORST ATTEMPTED SWINGER
Waiting in line to use the bathroom in a fancy New York City sex club is just like waiting to use the bathroom anywhere else. Well, anywhere else that people walk around half-naked. And anywhere else that you must send in a headshot and a full-body photo before being added to the invite list. Besides those things, it's like waiting in line for the bathroom anywhere else.
Married for ten years and with three children, Ashleigh and her husband, Manny, are at a sex club, not because they feel there is anything wrong with their marriage, rather they are looking for some relief from the non-stop work and no-nonsense routine they have maintained since meeting right out of college. Their marriage is rock solid. They are masterful tag-team parents and never fight. Their toddlers grow their own vegetables and use coasters. They are hardcore adulting, but everyone deserves a little break sometimes, don't they?
From sex clubs to invite-only parties to dating apps for couples, they rapidly realize they've made a slight miscalculation, underestimating the complexities of the lifestyle and overestimating the strength of their marriage. Heartbreaking, hilarious, and hopeful, what will they do when they realize it's more than a matter of gathering some people and having some sex?

Synopsis
PERFECTIONIST MOM TAKES DOING IT ALL TO THE NEXT LEVEL AS THE WORLD'S WORST ATTEMPTED SWINGER
Swing is the sexiest, funniest, most deeply felt memoir you will read this year. If Shonda Rhimes were a homeschooler and skating coach instead of a television exec, if Cheryl Strayed visited exclusive sex clubs instead of canoodling on the trail, if Elizabeth Gilbert stayed married after all her soul-searching, then one of them might have written this book. And then again, maybe not, because Ashleigh Renard is one in a million. I hope you'll pick it up for the racy bits and keep reading for the hard-earned look at how we make ourselves miserable trying to do it all, and how we can turn things around and learn to care for ourselves instead. This is a wise, satisfying, soulful book. - Andromeda Romano-Lax, author of Annie of the Wolves and Behave

Synopsis
THE NEW BOOK THAT IS UNEXPECTEDLY CHANGING MARRIAGES
Through stories most people haven't experienced, like waiting in line to use the bathroom at an invite-only sex party in New York City, Renard takes her readers to places we all know too well. Feeling disconnected, unappreciated, and like we are doing it all have become hallmarks of modern marriage and parenthood.
Swing is helping individuals flip the switch from depleted to filled up in partnership, parenting, and career while inspiring couples to raise the bar for intimacy and communication inside and outside of the bedroom.
Hilarious, heartbreaking, and hopeful, Renard takes "doing it all" to a level she never intended, and shares (and bares) it all so you can get your life back on track before you go off the deep end.

Andromeda Romano-Lax, author of Annie of the Wolves and Behave
"In Swing Ashleigh Renard has created an entirely new genre: the hot self-help book. With its wit and grace and wisdom-and some steamy interludes-this book belongs on your shelf next to Glennon Doyle and Brene Brown and Luvvie Ajayi."
Dr. Deborah Williams, Professor, NYU
"Charming, hilarious, and deeply wise, Ashleigh Renard's remarkable debut is that rare thing: A memoir that both entertains and instructs."
Joanna Rakoff, author of A Fortunate Age, My Salinger Year, and The Fifth Passenger (forthcoming)
