Amanda Ford understands the pains of being single, but says it’s just a natural state of life. And isn’t that the truth? If so, then why do we try to avoid those things in life which we find distasteful? Is it peer pressure? Media? Or maybe it’s a little of both.
In KISS ME, I’M SINGLE, Amanda Ford has single women step back and evaluate their life, not run from it. She encourages us to rid ourselves of the falsehood that women must be in a relationship to be happy. Her book is packed with mini stories, all of which I could related to. Each story is followed with a bit of advice delivered in a loving and sometimes humorous tone.
Even though I am no longer single, Ford’s message is one I can use. That message is that true love show more begins with me. I must look with myself in order to discover the joy in my life. It’s not found in another person. In other words, two incomplete people do not equal out to be a whole. What you end up with is two unhappy people.
If a list of must read books for women existed, then KISS ME, I’M SINGLE would be on it. I highly recommend this book for ALL women, not just the single ones. Ford’s sweet, upbeat tone will bring a smile to your face. show less
