The movie has probably been one of the most disagreed-upon feature films between the sexes that has come along in a long time. Most of guy friends, though curious about the movie, flat out hated it upon watching. For my female friends, I would have to say that about half my female friends also hated it, but the other half felt that they had found the answer to their relationship woes.
Where do I fit in? *guilty look* Okay moving on...
And that's exactly what writers Greg and Liz want you to do--take a good look at yourself, your experiences, your expectations, put them all in perspective, and then MOVE ON from the ideas and the ideals that just don't make any sense. Because honestly? It's not a big deal if he's just not that into you, his loss anyway!
You want to know the truth? This book made me cry, by like, page 3. Because taking an honest look back on yourself and your relationships, it's hard! But there's something nice about reading in a book the stuff that you've been feeling forever, and realizing that you aren't alone in all this. So if you've heard negative things about the book, I'm telling you that they probably didn't read it. Because even if there are certain ideas the Greg and Liz put forth that you don't necessarily agree with, their overall message is indisputable--that you DESERVE the best. Read it on the plane, it's short enough to get through by the time you touch down in your destination. (And if you start crying like me, it's enough time to dry your tears too.)
