This book started out hilarious and didn't stop. It is the perfect book to read for any single woman. I mean I have a new line when I want to date someone, but they can't seem to get it, "Step back from the stupid dehydrated horse." You need to read the book, but it makes sense when you do. This book also made me want to look into a professional cuddler as well as the other professionals she was looking into. This is the book that I just totally wondered how the author can always seem to write characters that have so much "me" in them! It's like she knows exactly how my mind works! Some fun things at the beginning of each chapter was some kind of AI or other technology that seems way out there, but from asking the author on Facebook, all of it is true, which in some of the chapters is kind of scary to think of. Another thing I love about Reid's stories is that there always seems to be someone talking about books to someone, or giving them a book, etc. I just love it! They're so my people! One moment that is totally relatable is when Marie thinks about how she's so happy for her friends, but it's also hard to not be jealous or sad for yourself. Like in the movie Bridesmaids, how she felt when her best friend tells her she's engaged. She's happy, but it still hits her. And then there is the line about how when you tell a single person there is someone out there for them, it's like telling an X-Files fan that you have proof of aliens, but no way to show them the evidence. The last term I have to say that I'm stealing for my own use is "whore-mones". Yep, it's a perfect way to phrase it. Marie and her horrible blind date are one of my favorites in this world and I loved this book to death!
