Never Have I Ever: My Life (So Far) Without a Date by Katie Heaney

4.0

---

I decided that I absolutely had to read Katie Heaney's book after reading her Lighthouse chapter and Online Dating Part Two chapter online; they were so relatably and self-depreciatingly hilarious that I needed to read the whole book. Heaney met -- in fact, exceeded -- my expectations. As a fellow forever-single lady, but only 22 instead of 25, Heaney's stories (especially high school, college and beyond) felt almost like stories from my own life. Her views on friendship, her terror at thinking someone might like her instead of the other way around, and her hilarious take on the dating scene were almost 100% on point with my own views and experiences. It was refreshing to read such an honest and humorous account of what it's like to be 2+ decades into your existence and be perpetually single. It was a perfect weekend read for a self-identified "Bermuda Triangle," and I would highly recommend it, even to those weird and alien "Lighthouse" ladies.

PS: Katie Heaney is also just a super awesome person. I tweeted about how great this book is, and she replied with a "<3". Made my day :)
