Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 It can be difficult for women to break off engagements. We are often told that our ambivalence toward marriage is something we must work through, so we don’t get left behind and spend the rest of our lives with a bunch of cats and a freezer full of Lean Cuisine.#2 I was working as a reporter and meteorologist at WOOD TV in my hometown of Grand Rapids, Michigan. I was not happy at my job, and I was constantly on the lookout for something better. I was in love with Joe, and we were getting married.#3 I could not marry Joe. I had done it together with him less than twenty-four hours before, and I couldn’t bring myself to hurt him like that. I told him the truth, and he was able to move through all the stages of grief in less than thirty minutes.#4 I was very hungry, and I had been subsisting on a rabbit’s diet of just a fistful of carrots each day. I had been cavemaning it up, and my oma, Hilda, had given me permission to say no to the wedding.
