WoW I honestly didn't think I'd like this book this much!
I was actually looking for a novel for audience in their 30s, possibly a main character without good social skills, and this wasn't that. The title sounded corny. But when I read a sample, it got me. It wasn't what I thought it was.
The author addresses her own marriage in the book several times, so, don't judge before reading!
I do not exactly fit in the audience of the book; single white women in their 30s. But the main point is being single, so, like every other person in this audience, I often thought it's my fault, that I am alone. Sometimes I would feel better, telling myself to focus on my self-discovery journey and enjoy my current status. But most of the time, and very recently, I've been feeling down. Everything had become unbearable. My inner drive just couldn't anymore.
This book wasn't what I was looking for directly, but I realized I have been searching for it indirectly. It was what I needed. I needed to hear all this from someone else; an extern motivation, someone who has gone through this and has come out from the other side (I don't mean marriage and other side! I simply mean being alive!) Someone who has survived all that, and would tell me there are actually many people like us, and about the many studies and research, and her own experiences.
And would tell me that I am not the bad guy. Some of the lessons weren't new to me, and I believe that's what makes it even better, that something that I have developed on my own isn't just something I have imagined! And I'm not crazy for feeling this or thinking that! And I have made the best choices in different situations I have been in.
I also liked her writing and her humor very much!
Thank you, Sara!
