Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 The media constantly sends the message to single women that it is unacceptable to not be married by a certain age. It’s exhausting to hear about so many relationships that failed because someone felt pressured and made poor decisions based on an artificial timeline.#2 I have never desired a love that felt like crossing something off a list. I’m a small-town girl who has always dreamed big, and it never sat right with me that I might be expected to sacrifice quality for speed. I wanted a love as deep as the ocean and as strong as Gorilla Glue with nothing but room to keep growing.#3 The Rules say that after a few dates with a man, you should start thinking about marriage. But for me, it was all about Kevin. I spent hours on the phone with my girlfriends gushing about him. I daydreamed about him at work. I found a good hairstylist in New York, and made sure to see her weekly so that I’d always look good just in case he called for the next date.#4 I met with an attorney named Brian, who seemed nice enough. We dated for four months, and in the end his insecurities and his need for female adulation were too much for me. I ended it after four months of these philosophies being revealed.
