The Man of My Dreams, by Curtis Sittenfeld.#

This romantic comedy book is filled with clever little comments and many sad, stupid actions by the protagonist. At times it is painful to read because of her stupidity and other times because of the sadness of her situation. The end advice:#

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. [p. 256]
