Read Time:1 Minute, 40 Second
1. You’ll buy this book for a friend who’s just ended her relationship with yet another Mr. Wrong.
2. But you’ll end up reading the whole thing before giving it to her.
a. You’ll realize that it’s painfully true.
b. And you’ll laugh until you cry.
Aneva Stout’s The List: A Love Story in 781 Chapters is a short little book made of short little chapters (usually just a sentence or two—or even just a phrase—and all of them are numbered) that you can read in about the same amount of time it takes to finish off a venti non-fat mocha (while sitting there alone, hoping to meet Mr. Right).
In under 100 pages, Stout takes you through the highs and lows of relationships—from that first exciting moment when you meet what could possibly be the man of your dreams all the way to the moment when you realize that he probably wasn’t Mr. Right after all. Along the way, you deal with infatuation, insecurity, jealousy, cellulite, thongs, and drunken phone calls to your ex. And only two things are constant: the love of your cat and the love of your best friend.
Whether you’re happily married or single and frustrated, if you’re a woman, you’ll be able to relate to The List. You’ll be a little embarrassed—because Stout’s got you pegged. And you’ll be a little relieved—because it’s not just you. And, when you finish, you’ll give your cat an extra treat and call your friend to thank her for being your friend.
This cute little book makes a great gift for a friend—or for yourself. Since it’s such a quick read, you can pull it out again and again—to remind yourself that, no matter what happens with that guy who looks like Liam Neeson, you’ve always got your friend…and your cat…and your Häagen-Dazs.
Kristin Dreyer Kramer has been writing in some form or another (usually when she was supposed to be doing something else) since the ripe old age of ten—when she, her cousin, and their two Cabbage Patch Dolls formed the Poo Authors’ Club. After a short career in advertising, Kristin got sick of always saying nice things about stuff that didn’t deserve it—so now she spends her days criticizing things, and she’s much happier for it.
Since creating NightsAndWeekends.com in February of 2002, Kristin has spent her life surrounded by piles and piles of books and movies—so many that her office has become a kind of entertainment obstacle course.
As if her writing and editing responsibilities for N&W.com weren’t enough to keep her out of trouble, Kristin also hosts a number of weekly radio shows: Reel Discovery, Shelf Discovery, and On the Marquee. She’s also a proud member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association (CriticsChoice.com), the Central Ohio Film Critics Association (COFCA.org), the Online Film Critics Society (OFCS.org), and the Women Film Critics Circle (WFCC.Wordpress.com).
