How to Date Men When You Hate Men

Lets be real, I bought this for the funny title and cover design. I did actually read it though, and found it funny.

This book:
- was pretty funny
- did not live up to the promise of its truly excellent title
- seemed to be an example of a genre that I think of as “printed off blog entries” even though this was never originally a blog. like I'm just on the cusp of being like, are we okay with just including AIM-style verbs like “prints off blog entry” in books now? I guess we are?
- I definitely found chunks of this extremely funny and #relatable
- I found other chunks bewildering; for example I have never as an adult woman spent much time frantically wondering if something was a date the way Blythe apparently does
- given the title it's obv very heterocentric although she does occasionally mention pieces of advice from her gay friends. She's also not really trying to do anything universal.
-I guess I am having trouble formulating what this book IS? I saw another review call it a “satire of dating handbooks” and I don't think it's really that. I think it's just kind of a confusingly formatted memoir of “dating” from someone who says she's never had a boyfriend? Which is...confusing.
