I have the sincere privilege of having worked with Lisa and her humor is just as strong in her writing as when she is sharing a story in person. This book challenges you to evaluate yourself and your dating patterns while laying out her own history to offer encouragement that you're not alone. The chapter on grief was easily the hardest chapter to read because I don't think we allow ourselves to grieve the end of a relationship; society tells us "you're better without them, move on," but when you've invested time into someone its natural to grieve the end of that relationship. I love that she calls both girls and guys out on the games they play and tells them to quit it and pursue relationships with kindness; even when letting someone down she encourages everyone to be kind - what a word of wisdom in our culture today.

You do not have to be single to enjoy this book and it is one I plan on buying for my friends for their birthdays and Christmas this year. I read it straight through on a flight this July and found myself laughing out loud at moments & feeling Lisa's pain in others. If you enjoy humorous writing and can handle tough truths about how we do relationships, this is a book you should read.
