Summary:
Justin Halpern follows up his #1 New York Times Bestseller Sh*t my Dad Says with I Suck at Girls, a book tackling his trials and tribulations in the dating scene. Sprinkled throughout with funny quips from his father, Halpern’s biography holds nothing back, sharing with the reader every gritty detail of growing up and dating. Through his voice we hear about a childhood crush gone awry, late night exploits with misguided waitresses and his final brave attempt to hold on to lasting love.

My Thoughts:
In one word: HILARIOUS! This book flew by as I finished it up in two days. Not a book for the prudish, Halpern’s biography is blunt and vulgar. Some of his experiences are so theatrical – like getting chased out of the woods by homeless men – they almost border on the unbelievable. Each hilarious anecdote had me laughing out loud and even finding bits of myself in the shy and terminally awkward Halpern. A must read for those with a sarcastic sense of humour!
