Is she too choosy? Should she have given that guy with the combover and the mother issues a shot? Maybe three full feet isn't too much of a height difference . . . Maria Dahvana Headley had been there, cherry-picking the men she'd dated based on a variety of criteria, and clearly it wasn't getting her anywhere. <P><I>The Year of Yes</I> is the hilarious and hopeful account of Headley's quest to find a man she could stand (for longer than a couple of hours). Frustrated by her own ineffective taste, she resolved to leave her love life up to fate, dating anyone who asked her: homeless men, a millionaire, several non-English speakers, a mime, and even two women. And finally, one man whose baggage would have disqualified him in any other year . . . but this was the Year of Yes, when Headley would finally discover what was really important. 1449207 2006 The Year of Yes total:518|5:56|4:113|3:191|2:117|1:41| 518 1580 757 141 2 2 false false Wed Jan 30 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 28 16:15:08 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 02 18:22:00 -0800 2008 ...more...]]> 2 2 false false Mon Aug 27 07:19:20 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 27 07:21:53 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 1 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Apr 19 22:11:46 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 19 22:20:11 -0700 2008 more...]]> 1 1 false false Thu May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri May 02 11:30:26 -0700 2008 Fri May 02 11:57:29 -0700 2008

ok it's a memoir & not a self-help guide. but really, it's an unevenly written & erratically paced ride in an early twenty-something's love life. the year of yes focuses so much on the inner agonies & dramas of a young, self-involved college kid one cannot take...more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri Nov 21 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Oct 29 12:08:45 -0700 2008 Fri Nov 21 08:45:26 -0800 2008 1 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Nov 05 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 04 05:09:07 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 05 10:27:37 -0800 2008 more...]]> 2 0 false false Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Nov 27 20:58:58 -0800 2007 Fri Nov 30 05:38:02 -0800 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Sun Jul 26 06:16:59 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 26 06:17:18 -0700 2009
