2023 Reread:
Despite the title, this book is less about "settling", and more about learning to look for the truly important qualities in a man. Even more than that, this is a cautionary tale from a 40+ unmarried woman. In her words, it's a "graphic anti-drunk-driving public service announcement". Sadly, I think there is next to no chance of her target audience paying any attention.


OG review:
SOO GOOD! Gives us girls a shot in the arm of reality. Read it, it's not all about "settle in an 'eh' marriage"; it's about facing life and love without your vision being skewed by statistically impossible standards. A few f-bombs (maybe three) in one chapter. Other than that, superb!

Great book for anyone who is single at an age where they thought they would be married already.

Lori, this screams I want a husband so much and I was stupid to let all the guys from my past go. I like the way she writes but this wasn't worth it

 I think it was written for me, knowing I wouldn't like it. Like its a warning from a 41 year old about things she knew she didn't want to hear in her 20s. But is telling them anyways. I know her experience is different, but its a nice reminder to get into long term relationships with the right people. Not just the people with game, but the people with character and comfort.
