Avoid the Holiday Dating Blues
The festive season is underway. The time could not be better spent than to read some funny books on dating and what dates to avoid, if you can, and hopefully make the holiday season pass easier.
If you think the dating scene could not get any worse after being dumped, picture a haunt from your past who publishes a book for all to read about your relationship with him:
Just when Hilary Winston is finally getting her life together she finds out her ex-boyfriend wrote an unflattering novel about her, referring to her as the "fat-assed girlfriend." This sends her into a downward spiral that's sometimes hilarious, and other times heartbreaking, causing her to question that almost-five-year relationship – as well as every relationship she's had before and after it. Now Hilary reveals her dirty laundry in a laugh-out-loud, non-fiction book written for every woman who's ever been dumped.
More from Hilary can be found on her website.
If the first title does not whet your appetite on the scary aspects of dating, Julie Klausner has been on the dating scene long enough to report her findings in her hilarious (2009) book, I don't care about your band: What I learned from indie rockers, trust funders, pornographers, faux sensitive hipsters, felons, and other guys I've dated.
Meridith Blake from The New Yorker says that this book, ". . . is a dating memoir that manages to avoid excessive self-deprecation, self-pity, or self-flagellation. It’s also a smart, highly literate, and wickedly funny take on pop culture."
