Dateable

Yes, I read it. In pretty much one sitting. It hurt a little. Haha.
Anyways, time for my review! It was a good book. Mrs. Freeman would probably attempt to burn it due to the utter and complete lack of feminism, but seriously, guys and girls are different. This is a GOOD thing. And the book recognized that and talked alot about the different roles of the different sexes in relationships. No, not like the woman stays home and sweeps! Like, the dude should stand up and be a man already! (I'm not kidding, this was the title of one of the chapters.) However, it did paint one picture a little too extreme: it made me feel like I was totally in the wrong for having some of my best friends be guys. It annoyed me when it told me even if I didn't like them or they didn't like me, it was a total heinous crime for me to call them. So I disagreed with some things, but for the most part the book was really good. I liked how it focused on making dating just like a fun thing to do, not like some huge foreboding...I don't know, but whatever. It was a good book. A little weird and a little...mm, I don't know...like....well, it was kind of like there's no room for error or different situations. The author apparently is ALWAYS RIGHT. He gave you no choice, and kind of made you feel like your opinion could be worth less than crap at a few parts- Okay, that makes it sound really bad, but it's not. It was a good book, and there's definitely some principles I'll be putting into practice. I say read it for yourself. :)
