Status Updates From Dating Disasters of Emma Nash

Hate it. Cannot finish this; life is too short for terrible books. The characters all suck, especially the Main character, who is whiny and obsessive.

Very fun, chaotic and relatable. Emma can be friends with Chloe Snow or Ruby Oliver. They share the same sentiment of being obsessed with boys but never appreciate their friendships and family enough. Such a cute read.

The words of wisdom from Emma's mom is just chef's kiss.

Girl, so confusing

I still think Greg will be a manipulative sad boy in the long run. I can feel it.

"I never cared about marriage, I just wanted to be in love and have a...mutually caring relationship. It hasn't happened for me, and I'd rather be on my own, with you, than in something I settled for, and in some people's eyes that makes me a failure."

"As women, we're constantly put in a race against time to 'achieve' things we're not given a moment to consider we might not want."

"What about you? Why are you always on dates?"

"Well, it would be nice to meet someone. So I keep trying. But I'm not going to force myself to be with someone for the sake of it."

I take it back. Greg is one of those clingy, sad boys pretending to be demure and kind but takes advantage of you. Why do you only date red flags, Emma? T_T Are you a bull? Why do you love red flags?

"That's OK, but until you feel ready to reciprocate, maybe you shouldn't do anything at all, because you don't want to be a user."

I'm never going to find the answer to the world's dating problems, no one wants to date me in the first place.

Haha it's always the guy who we initially thought is very full-on or we didn't give a second glance. Love is so subtle and full of mystery

"Though I do feel lethargic about dating, I'm nonetheless still very horny."

"I sat there in disbelief that I could be feeling this deeply, and no one else knows. No one else can feel what I am feeling. Why isn't there some tangible sense for other people's internal life? Why can't we smell when someone is feeling very sad, or happy? Everything would be much easier."

My emotions are going round and round in circles. One minute I feel tragically invisible and angry at the world for going on without me. Then I feel angry at myself for being so pathetic, and realizing that my only apparent source of self-esteem is from outside myself. From the amount of likes I get. From Leon. Why doesn't it come from me?

One confident, casual message born of nerves and fretting. To send or not to send, that is the question...
