A pretty entertaining read! It had a few serious undertones and things to take to heart. It also came creepy close to my own interactions with boys/men (Although I never crushed from afar in a creepy way). Overall a great read and one for those "lighthouses" or serial daters and single people out there. It is a book for anyone who wants to date, does date, or wishes to date again.
Really a 3.75 haha.. Easy read- it was cute! It got a little repetitive at times but she always made it fun! I couldn’t relate too much since I’ve had boyfriends for the majority of my adulthood but the ending made me think a lot about relationships and life.
I really like this book for the majority of it. I relate to Katie a lot and I felt so nice being able to read someone who felt the same way I do. Once I got to part 4 of the book, I felt like I was pushing myself to finish it and that pacing was off for me. I ended up skimming the majority of the end of the book.
I think I would give this maybe a 3.75

I went back and forth on this. I appreciate that, in the end, this is less a book about the need for a date and more the need to know what you want and to celebrate your friendships, but I also thought, several times, that she just sounded young and she needed to get out of her own head a bit.
The thing is, this girl actually got more action at 24 than I did and still managed to write a book about about never dating that rings true.
So can I write one at 37 and sell more copies or would I just be completely pathetic?

Self-indulgent dribble for the first 80% of the book. Could kind of relate to the two last chapters on online-dating (and how horrible it is). Was mildly funny but honestly not worth my time. I had to force myself to finish it just for the sake of finishing it. :p
Really wanted to like this book. It was solely focused on her crushes, would have liked to read other elements of her life included.
Eh. It was really 2.5 stars. I think Katie Heaney is smart, funny, and very self aware. I find nothing wrong with the fact that a 25-26 year old hasn't been in a relationship or, had sex. I wasn't thumbing through the pages of this book frantically to get to the next page. It actually took me longer than usual. Simply because she couldn't keep me interested in her self sabotage and other... Shenanigans. I can see her being someone other young women can relate to. But if, say she were to come out with another book to update us, I might have to pass.
