Status Updates From The Man of My Dreams

wanted something easy/fun so got this at the library but forgot I’m a curtis hater. maybe she’ll surprise me

This is a book for man-haters

Really enjoying this and I am so glad about that because I was anxious about reading this after not enjoying that more recent book (romantic comedy) by Curtis Sittenfeld. This however reminds me so much of prep. But even better in that we get to see the main character at various stages in her life and not just a teen as in prep.

I send this letter with the greatest affection and appreciation for the many ways in which you helped me.

When I think of Henry and Oliver and Mike, I feel as if they are three different models - templates, almost - and I wonder if they are the only three in the world: The man who is with you completely, the man who is with you but not with you, the man who will get as close to you as he can without ever becoming yours. I can't claim no other dynamics exist because I haven't experienced them, but I can't imagine them.

If a man wants to be romantically involved with you, he tries to kiss you. That's the entire story, and if he doesn't kiss you, there is never a reason to wait for him.
