""I would like to tell you about a theory I've developed about a certain brand of people I like to call 'lighthouses.' Lighthouse people are beacons that call all the cute sailors in ships back to land, beckoning them in toward the light. Lighthouse people are magnetic and luminescent. I am not a lighthouse." So begins Katie Heaney's memoir of her years spent looking for love, but never quite finding it -- from Cody the T-ball player all the way through college and graduate school heartbreak. By age 25, equipped with a college degree, a load of friends, and a happy family life, she still has never had a boyfriend...and she's barely even been on a second date. Throughout this laugh-out-loud funny book, you will meet Katie's incredible loyal group of girlfriends, including beautiful and fabulous Rylee, the wild child to Katie's shrinking violet, as well as a whole roster of Katie's crushes. And you will get to know Katie herself -- a smart, modern heroine in the vein of Mindy Kaling and Sloane Crosley, relaying truths about everything from the subtleties of a Facebook message exchange to the fact that "Everybody who works in a coffee shop is at least a little bit hot." Funny, relatable, and inspiring, this is a memoir for anyone who has ever struggled to find love, but has also had a fair amount of fun in the process"--… (more)

Hey, look at this! Girls of Riyadh in English.

Aha, finally it all makes sense! I've never heard of the lighthouse analogy before, but as soon as the author explained why some people just magically attract the opposite sex it all made sense! Heaney and I seem to have a lot in common - from our inability to deal with idiot men to our imaginary crushes on unattainable strangers - so it was very refreshing to read a book about dating where the girl lives happily ever after - all on her own!

I could not put this book down. It was so real to me. I have had similar experiences(when I attempted to be introverted toward a guy). I actually have more awkward experiences but due to my extroversion, they don't go on as long as the authors did.

This is exactly the book I needed at this point in my life. Nearly every page has been dog eared for a witty comment or a phrase that feels lifted from my own internal monologue. It made me laugh and cry and feel like maybe my life choices aren't so crazy or unusual. I am a bermuda triangle as well and so grateful to know I'm not the only one! ( )

At 25 years old, Katie Heaney has never dated. And she's kind of ok with that. Recounting the list of crushes, flirtations, and odd romantic encounters that have led up to this point in her life, Katie reflects on the complexities of romance and the importance of the friendships with the women in her life. Filled with humour as Katie provides her inexperienced/outsider's perspective on the nuances of dating, this one is a hit whether you're a long-term singleton or coupled up. ( )
