I think this woman jumped into my brain and stole my thoughts AND my book idea! My favorite lines from this book so far:
"Don't get the wrong idea: I am not all that virtuous. I'm certainly not saving myself for Mr. Right. I'd be perfectly amenable to taking Mr. Remote Possibility for a test drive"
"Still, as I stand by and watch almost everyone I know get paired off, I do wonder what's going on. Is this bad luck? Is it fate? Is this predicament of my own making? I've never believed there is just one perfect match out there for me-there are probably dozens, if not hundreds. But why do they all seem to be in a witness protection program?"
"During my epic dry spell, I've been out with so many guys that I have developed a system of dating strategies complex enough to warrant doctoral study. I have vowed to broaden my search, to try harder. I've vowed not to try at all and just "let it happen." I've tried to appear more available and less assertive. I've tried to appear less available and more assertive. I've done just about everything but lower my standards or give up completely, because the truth is, I still have hope. Greater miracles have occurred. Remember the South American rugby players who survived a plane crash in the Andes in the dead of winter? If they could live for ten weeks on toothpaste and the flesh of their deceased teammates and still manage to walk out of the mountains alive, surely I can navigate my way out of singlehood, no?"

What self-indulgent tripe. I've never bothered to read memoirs about fitness obsessed women whose major tragedy in life has been the lack of a sex partner. And now I know why. Seriously, could she have said "stairmaster" any more? Also, her carbon footprint is equivalent to a whole country's, the way she casually drives or flies thousands of miles to escape from her rough life. Here's something I learned without flying anywhere: no matter where you go, your personal/mental issues go with you. Got this off paperbackswap, and back it goes.
I rarely read chick lit and its also not often that a random stranger asks me what Im reading when on public transportation... but of course the other day Im on the plane reading this when some young guy sitting next to me asks me what Im reading and this is the title I have to show him.. yes, super embarrassing..
Well, I picked this very very quickly as I am terrible at choosing. Quick explanation - had got no books when at the library due to being overwhelmed. The person I was with, basically, bored and told me we were going NOW. So I cry: what shall I get? She suggested I take something from the 'recently returned' shelf, as other people had obviously enjoyed them.
Hahahaha. This was as terrible as it sounds. Absolutely ridiculous. Uninteresting, solipsistic, and I really didn't even like Suzanne Schlosberg. Not really anything going for it. Never mind. You win some, you lose some. Just wish I hadn't wasted the time.
