Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough by Lori Gottlieb

4.0

I listened to this book but don't think I could've gotten through a hard copy. But for a listened read, I loved it, mostly because it shows what happens when you have unrealistic expectations of the men out there who do want to get married and share a life but you actually expect the perfection that you can't even attain. She got what she got because she had unrealistic expectations. You can build an amazing life with someone who can't match his clothes, who tells silly stories, who isn't 6 foot tall, who doesn't check everything on your perfect mate list. No one needs to grab the first man off the street that shows interest, but reality is a great place to live.
