This book managed to arouse my interest also because of the hype it got all over the net and magazines. At first I didn't know how to categorize it and what to expect from it. I have no idea how it was written and basically what format was used. All I know is that it's supposed to knock some lovesick people off their feet in the hopes that they will come to their senses and realize that their object of affection are.. well.. just not that into them.
The title is quite simple and direct to the point. For goodness' sake, what more can you ask right? Well, I do have something to ask, literally: Do you really mean that there are people who are as disillusional as the people described in the book? Seriously? I have been lovesick more than once before but I swear, I was not this disillusioned. There are some self denials, that I admit but not disillusions.
I really tried to like this book, but for me, the book just kind of failed itself. This is nothing personal. In fact, I got excited when I read that the authors are part of my favorite show, Sex and the City. I expected to enjoy this because of that knowledge but I was shocked after reading the first few pages. I just cannot believe that they wrote this. Or maybe, it is just the subject that sucks. I am not being a know-it-all here nor am I being a snob but most of the things I have read in this book are those that I have already either read or heard way, way before. On the other hand, maybe that is the point of writing this book. Maybe they just wrote this book to make sure that people do not ignore the basic signs of knowing if a man is into you. But..anyway, to each his own and this one just happened to be not my cup of tea.
I love Nikki though. I always wait for her letters after every chapter. She's like the life-breather in this book. I hope she finally finds the right one for her. I hope she finds someone who's really into her.
