Ever wondered if there's someone better out there for you? Someone who's more cultured? Naturally well-dressed? Ambitious in his career? Slimmer/less devoted to his computer games/better at picking the perfect present?This is the book for you.Lori Gottlieb tackles the question on the mind of the Sex and the City generation: should you hold out for Mr Perfect, preferring to be single and refusing to settle? Or choose Mr Good Enough - a lovely, if flawed, life partner?Attractive, intelligent, forty-year old US journalist Lori Gottlieb has never quite found what she's been looking for in a man. Is it really the case that all the good guys have been snapped up? Or might it be that Lori's approach to finding the right guy, and what he comprises, is a little out of touch with reality.?This is a controversial, brilliantly-written exploration of modern relationships. Following the search for her own Mr Right, Lori talks with lots of other women and men, as well as with marital researchers, matchmakers, behavioural economists, neuropsychologists, divorce lawyers and more. The result is an eye-opening, chillingly truthful, often funny and sometimes painful journey that culminates in the redefining of romance.
