I came across this book at the store named "Totally Weird Shit" in Brunswick. The book was "Quirkyalone: A Manifesto for Uncompromising Romantics" by Sasha Cagan.
The title alone got me. Having both "alone" and "Romantics" ...single ergo alone ergo no romance ergo "what the hell is this book talking about?". Yet that was the point and she said it in the first few sentences of her book...something like single people are the last remaining true romantics in this world.
Does it sound like another "Bridget Jones' Diary"? Yes it does,and I'm sure it belongs in the same genre, and its not an original idea. But to me at least, the three pages I flipped to set off some notes of familiarity, and the music is resounding still, even hours after I put the book down.
The punchline is I didn't buy it. Not yet at least. But I'm coming back for it...for sure.
