this clever book dissects a love affair between the two main characters from start to finish. it applies psychological and sociological theories (with cheeky little diagrams) to the relationship... either you will love this one or hate it, i found i enjoyed it much more the second time i read it.

I enjoyed the attempt to define and understand some of the crazy things we do in a relationship. Enjoy his wit and humor in the story. I was just a little disappointed in the ending. There were so many parts of the book that I connected with and the ending just sort of fizzled out for me. Overall, and enjoyable read and would recommend it even though I didn't love the ending.
