Marry Him Paperback – Deckle Edge, 1 February 2011

As other reviewers have pointed out, this book does make a good point: don't be picky to the point of ignoring the other good things, like rejecting someone amazing just because he's 5'9 instead of 6'2.However, it paints singlehood in an incredibly negative light. As if it's inherently just the worst thing you could possibly be. She even compares it to being terminally ill at one point. As if the amount of shame women, let alone single women, face in daily life isn't bad enough. While she keeps *saying* she's not asking you to settle, she really is: she keeps talking about women who said yes to men they weren't even attracted to, or weren't sure about, just because marriage is the only thing in life you should ever want. Not happiness - marriage. Her idea of marriage seems closer to friends with benefits. To that I ask: what's the difference between a friend with benefits and a life partner? Just the commitment? Not your actual feelings?There's also absolutely no caution about red flags, or acknowledgement that, yes, in many cases, you *should* run for the hills.While I appreciated the primary point (don't be "too" picky) and the examples given, I think overall this book doesn't help anyone except a minority of people who would actually break up with someone they love because they're blond or don't wear stylish shoes.
