This book is not overly deep or ground breaking but it was a joy to read because it touches on the phenomenon of the 'urban tribe'. The 'urban tribe' is presented as the social structure which fills what is often presented as a void between the stages of living in your parent's home and having a family of your own. The author admits to not being an expert on anthropology or psychology but ended up writing this book partially as a reaction to the often very negative commentaries on the ever growing number of 'never-marrieds'.
I found this book enjoyable to read because it adds a much needed narrative to my current, very socially rich existence as a 'never-married'. I also think that all of my friends should read parts of this book.
