This book could have been great, this book should have been interesting, It should have been provactive discourse on the return to patriarchy & the societal pressures on women to wed.I wanted to hear about the new feminine mystique - the nameless dread of being in the "leftover bin" as one approches her late twenties unmarried, the societal message that men are in a positon to "reward" a woman with the gift of marriage.So much to write about -- and instead this book is one long movie review, the shaggy dog story that leaves one wondering what the point is.Jaclyn Geller's tone comes accoss as a slightly bitter woman on a mission. Her assertion that friends be considered equally important to one's significant other is laughable. The critique of such fleeting popular culture references such as Ally McBeal and Betsy's Wedding is pathetic and indicates that Ms. Geller was grabbing at straws to fill up space and back up her point - which she never got around to making.
