Review: I Suck at Girls

I Suck at Girls was written by Justin Halpern, who just happens to be the same guy who brought the world Shit My Dad Says. And yes, much of the content in this book is shit that Halpern's dad has said.

Justin Halpern decides that he wants to propose to his girlfriend, and the first person he tells is his dad. His father, in the only way he knows how, informs Justin to take a day to think everything over, so he can be certain that he is making the right decision. This book is the 24 hours worth of stuff that goes through his mind that pertains to the female gender, to help him confirm or deny with himself that proposing really is what he wants to do.

The book starts with Halpern's childhood, chronicling his first attempts at trying to impress a girl when he was seven or eight years old, to losing his virginity, to going off to an island in Spain, and getting his party on for nights on end. The entire tale, from start to finish, is absolutely hilarious.

If you like sarcasm with hits of profanity with a mix of innocence and desperation, I'm certain you'd enjoy I Suck at Girls.
