This was a comforting book to read, and I do tend to classify as a "Quirkyalone", with a few exceptions to the author's definition as such. First of all, I don't consider myself to be an "Uncompromising Romantic" as it states in the title, not at all. And I don't need to be given suggestions as to what to do with my time that's not being spent having babies or searching for wedding gowns or going to PTA meetings or even couples therapy.

But still, it's nice to know that there's a world of singles out there that are not desperate to settle down *immediately*, and don't need to be in a relationship to feel defined.

However, I must say that I felt that the ultimate message of the book was, indeed, "just be patient and *one day* it *will* happen for you." *That* message I can get from my mother, thanks. What I needed to hear was "Just keep on keepin' on, and do your thing, girl."

But maybe I'm just sensitive... ( )

An light and easy read, good for any single person who's happy with that status in life and who doesn't believe that a romantic relationship is the end-all-be-all of existence. You'll not get any life-changing information from it, but it's entertaining enough to quickly flip through the entire thing in one sitting. ( )
