Katie Heaney
A hilarious, quirky, and unflinchingly honest memoir about one young woman's life-long (and totally unsuccessful) search for love."I've been single for my entire life. Not one boyfriend. Not one short-term dating situation. Not one person with whom I regularly hung out and kissed on the face."So begins Katie Heaney's memoir of her years spent looking for love, but never quite finding it. By age 25, equipped with a college degree, a load of friends, and a happy family life, she still has never had a boyfriend...and she's barely even been on a second date.Throughout this laugh-out-loud funny book, you will meet Katie's loyal group of girlfriends, including flirtatious and outgoing Rylee, the wild child to Katie's shrinking violet, as well as a whole roster of Katie's ill-fated crushes. And you will get to know Katie herself -- a smart, modern heroine relaying truths about everything from the subtleties of a Facebook message exchange to the fact that "Everybody who works in a coffee shop is at least a little bit hot."Funny, relatable, and inspiring, this is a memoir for anyone who has ever struggled to find love, but has also had a lot of fun in the process.

"When I first picked up this book, I read the first chapter or two and I was dying to read more. I could relate so well to Katie, myself being in my mid-twenties and never having dated. I was looking forward to an honest look at what it means to be single and how hard it is to navigate the dating world as a single girl. I was looking forward to reading about a girl I could to relate.<br/><br/>I wish it had been that for me. I wish that the book had kept my attention. It took me five months to finally finish this book. I would keep coming back to it, hoping it would get better once she reached high school or college. Sadly, it peaked in the early chapters. It is hard to read a book that is nothing more than a recount of every boy that she has ever liked. There is only so many times I can read the same plot line over and over in a book before I get extremely bored. <br/><br/>Although the author was honest about her experiences, I did find her a bit whiney and hard to relate to. It appeared to me that she was and still is rather obsessed with the idea of finding of guy to date, even though she claims at the end that she's not. The book does have a decent message of how important it is to just be yourself so I guess my time wasn't completely wasted."
