Man Camp- Adrienne Brodeur

I try to hide my chick- lit fascination. I'm not nearly as obsessed as some friends, but I don't have the total distaste that other friends do either. At times, particularly after reading an excessively mushy gushy one, I'm disappointed with myself that I willingly chose to read said dreck rather than something serious, like The Economist (not like I ever read The Economist. I'm just sayin'...) Happily, man camp was not dreck! Yes, there is the standard happily ever after ending, but what makes this one so great is because it so clearly describes dating in nyc. The author does a great job summing up the basic types of single men in the city and how they so different men in
other parts of the country. It's almost like a mini social commentary! Hilariously, I've had some of the experiences described and it's comforting to know that I'm not the only one dealing with the crazies. Plus, FirstDate and Man Camp? Brilliant.
