The Year of Yes by Maria Dahvana Headley
3.0
This book came up as a suggestion in one of my bookclubs a year or so ago...where it was soundly rejected since it was still only available in hardcover at the time. Then this past December it was selected as the monthly pick in a different book club.
It seemed like a fun concept for a memoir-- the author was sick of not finding Mr. Right and decided that for a year she would say "Yes" to anyone who asked her out. The author was witty and there were some funny bits to the memoir... but overall, I just found her to be a bit grating--in one breath she would mention how hideous she was and in the next talk about all these guys who were hitting on her on the street.
