The author, Cindy Chupack, was an Executive Producer/writer and Golden Globe and Emmy winner on the beloved "Sex and The City". With her resume, you just know you'll enjoy this book even before you open the cover. Once you start reading, you'll be hooked. And you'll probably finish it over the course of a few long subway commutes (or one annoying day at jury duty). But, be forewarned, you WILL laugh out loud, which results in looks from that homeless man on the L train (or the lady running the jury duty waiting room). This "New York Times" bestseller takes a hilarious look on dating, love, and being single in the city.
Some of my favorite essay topics covered are "sexual sorbet" (the first man you sleep with after a break up) and "lone rangered" (to have a relationship end in a mysterious and annoying way - with no goodbye, no answers, just the vague feeling that you have no idea who that man was). I saw myself or my girlfriends in almost every situation. Cindy's writing makes you feel like she is one of your BFF's, telling her tales in person over glasses of chardonnay. Some of her stories are written for single ladies who have long finished their twenty-something dating days, such as "eggsistential crisis" (a panic attack common among women in their late thirties). She even has a gay ex-husband, who is now one of her best friends. She has truly dated every type of man out there. No matter the topic, each and every chapter will make you smile and feel better about your past loves and mistakes.
Cindy considers her years of dating as "research", which is exactly how I'd like to think of my years, months, weeks, (and sometimes nights) of dating so many Mr. Wrongs in NYC. She prefers to say she is "between boyfriends" rather than "single". I can't help but find that phrase appropriate for describing the time period when ladies are going on dates, and kissing a few of the wrong frogs, before one turns into a prince.
PS - If Cindy could hire me as her assistant, it would make my little dating blogger dream come true ;)
