Maria Dahvana Headley

This year-long quest is divided into a chapter for each month of the year and takes you on a hilarious journey through Headley's oddest dates as well as her gradual development from being deeply judgmental to being open to any type of guy (or woman, for that matter) who expresses an interest in her.

I had a feeling this moment would come. This book was so promising from the start, but I figured out the ending about 20 pages in (and yes, I skimmed the last chapter to check if I was right) and I didn't care enough to read the whole book. I found the main character's humor repetitive, and her comments on the people around her a little tone-deaf. I kept telling myself that it was just a first impression and that it would change eventually, but it didn't. Maybe being an NYU student does give you a sense of superiority that forces you to treat everyone else as a walking stereotype, or maybe that's just what the author's like as a person.
