aEvan Handler is a man whoas looked into the abyss and laughed. His
book, "Itas Only Temporary," made me laugh along with him. He
covers love, lust, showbiz, triumph, and despair a and he manages
to be both funny and inspiring about all of it. Itas an important
book that I think can help to spread goodness around the world.
Something we desperately need.a

aEvan Handler is not only a fine actor, heas a damn good writer.
"Itas Only Temporary" is wise and funny and as righteously
indignant as it is endearingly self-effacing. In what may be
aliterary first, the book actually left me wanting more.a
aMeghan Daum, author of "My Misspent Youth" and "The Quality of
Life Report"
aEvan Handler's unsparingly honest stories about life, love, and
his own shortcomings are hilarious to read and oh, so easy (and
fun!) to relate to. By the end you will be left with the surprising
but unmistakable feelings of hope and redemption. "Itas Only
Temporary" is truly an inspiration, particularly for anyone who's
out there looking for love.a
aLiz Tuccillo, co-author of "Heas Just Not That Into You"
aChange is good - thatas the credo Evan Handler reinvigorates with
the hard won wisdom of this hard luck story. Handleras prose style
is disarmingly funny and smoothly conversational. He writes like a
guy who's just happy to be here, and a little pissed off at you if
you're not. As he has worked hard to shape himself into a good
actor, life has shaped him into a good man. The cover photo is
worth the price alone.a
