QUIRKYALONE A MANIFESTO FOR UNCOMPROMISING ROMANTICS DOWNLOAD

I just didn't feel like it said much and, after a few chapters, I gave up. The book explained it all. A good friend suggested that give this a read - she had stumbled across it and felt that it descirbed her to a T. But I guess I am not a true blue quirkyalone. An light and easy read, good for any single person who's happy with that status in life and who doesn't believe that a romantic relationship is the end-all-be-all of existence. A funny, upbeat, inspiring guide for all those singles who identify with enjoying their unique lifestyles while waiting for the right romance to come along. Loved the concept, would have liked a slightly less chatty writing style and also felt like the book was a little too padded with individual Quirkyalone profiles.

Seemed pretty try-hard as a book.
