Why are so many smart, beautiful, interesting women still single in their 30s? How can you «make it» to get married and have kids? What prejudices and misconceptions get in the way in your personal life? Lori Gottlieb’s new book is a sobering, often funny, sometimes painful—but as honest as possible—exploration of women’s romantic ambitions. Lori shares her own experience of searching for «the right man» and, in the process, absorbs important lessons and surprising advice from researchers of marriage, matchmakers, dating coaches, sociologists, family therapists, divorce lawyers—as well as from single and married men and women aged from twenty to sixty. In this book you’ll find answers to questions about why your personal life might not go the way you planned, how to learn to look for not perfection but compatibility in a partner, and how to increase your chances of building a happy family.
