I SUCK AT GIRLS (justin Halpern)

If you read Sh*t My Dad Says and liked it you will have no choice but to love this one; a follow up of sorts where the author, Justin, takes on the next phase of his life: Marriage, or the proposal of marriage. And of course, what his father thinks of it. And his father, as in the first one, is the star of the book despite sort of fading out in the middle as Justin recounts his experiences with the fairer sex. These experiences amounting to the realization that he’s no good with girls and proceeds to tell you why. Making appearances throughout is the man with the wit and mouth of steel. There is no shying away from making proclamations of the colorful. If you can imagine, the swearing is completely appropriate- enhancing even. (If you have seen That 70’s Show, think Red Forman, the father in the show.)There’s not much more to say about the book since it is rather short but a hilarious reprieve if you’re a serious reader and need something lighthearted to give yourself a break.
