'Growing up, every time I saw a men's magazine cover that had a headline about "73 Ways to Please Your Girlfriend", all I could think was "I'm good with one; just tell me one way to please her. Also, I don't have a girlfriend. Is there an article about that?"'

Soon after Sh*t My Dad Says began to take off, comic writer Justin Halpern decided to propose to his then girlfriend. But before doing so, he asked his dad's advice, which was very, very simple (and surprisingly clean): 'Just take a day to think about it.' This book is the story of that trip down memory lane, to the adventures and misadventures of teenage relationships.

Crossing the warmth of The Wonder Years with the candour and observational humour of David Sedaris, this follow-up to the hottest comedy debut of last year is a hilarious, toe-curlingly true book about life, and love.
