This is a very funny, thought provoking, and enlightening look into the modern dating scene. If you've had bad dating experiences (as I'm sure we all have) and want reassurance that you are not alone, this is the book for you. I found it a bit odd, however, that the book was classified in my local Borders store as "self-help" because there's not much advice to be had. The chapters are framed by some good, old-fashioned common sense sayings from the author's grandmother, but to me the book is more one woman's exploration of what she's looking for from herself and a potential partner than advice to others. There are also a couple of places where the publisher should've been a little more diligent in editing - watch for some misspellings and small gramamtical errors. Overall, it's a good summer read and a good starting point for anyone on the dating scene to perform some honest reflection and self-analysis.
