Relationships are so much more complicated than they used to be, or the rules were more clear-cut in the past. As a typical male, I very much enjoyed this book. Surprisingly, it wasn't too wordy for my taste. It was not filled with endless chick chat that caused my eyes to glaze over and my mind to escape into some sexual or sports fantasy.
