How to Get a Life in Ten Dates 
By Jenny L. Howe

Haleigh and Jack have been best friends since second grade.  They had a "thing" that didn't end well,  so they now have friendship rules. She's at the end of her rope dealing with bad after worse date.  So what better way to avoid more than letting your family and friends set you up on yen dates. Buckle up friends,  these are not for the faint of heart. Makes you wonder if these people actually like her when you realize how colossally bad some of them go. 
I love how well this book portrays the everyday coping with various mental illnesses. It's a struggle and just because you can't "see it" doesn't  make the effects sometimes debilitating.  
You will laugh out loud,  maybe yell at them a bit,  smile and go aww, then hopefully be happy with the last date.
