She packs her pages with clever observations without appearing to be trying' NEW YORK TIMES 'Grave, good-humoured, deeply engaging' GUARDIAN ____________ Hannah is a confused fourteen-year-old. In the magazines she reads, celebrities plan elaborate weddings; in Hannah's own life, her parents' marriage is crumbling. Over the next decade and a half, love throws her some complicated questions. At what point can you no longer blame your adult failures on your messed up childhood? Is settling for someone who's not your soulmate an act of maturity or an admission of defeat? And if you move to another state for a guy who might not love you back, are you being plucky - or just pathetic? _______ Readers love THE MAN OF MY DREAMS: *****'I love everything Curtis Sittenfeld writes and this was no exception. Excellent' *****'Very realistic portrayal of an emotionally abusive atmosphere. Insightful, thoughtful' *****'Curtis Sittenfeld is a magnificent writer. Fantastic'
