Even God Is Single, So Stop Giving Me Such a Hard Time: (So Stop Giving Me a Hard Time

by Karen Salmansohn

It's the edgy gift book for every unmarried woman who's fending off her nudgy mother and overly concerned (over-bearing?) friend, who can't go to a holiday dinner, class reunion, shower or wedding without hearing the usual round of questions. Something like So, why aren't you married yet? Or sometimes, Still not found that special someone? Or any variation thereof.

Delightful, irreverent, and witty, Even God is Single, So Stop Giving Me a Hard Time is an affirmation for every girl who's single and loving it. Even God is Single is strong, sexy, smart, and edgy. And joyous-it celebrates singlehood, just as it pays homage to the self-assured and savvy woman who knows that you're not half a person just because you're not half a couple.

Even God is Single asks is it "monogamy" or "monotony?" Shows that given the 50% divorce rate, you haven't missed out on marriage, you just skipped a few divorces. And fearlessly examines the role models. Married? Frankenstein, Linda Tripp, and 20,000 Moonies. Single? Catwoman, Superwoman--and, of course, God.

I got this book used.

A friend gave it to Michelle. Michelle gave it to Lisa. Lisa unbeknownst gave it to me. Who will I give it to?

A funny and inspirational book for single gals. Published in 2000 so some of the references are a bit dated (George Clooney is married now lol). It would be nice to get a rewritten one to compare and contrast the statistics.

Fun book with interesting art. Only thing is that it argues that it's okay for a girl to be single, but still follows the idea that she is waiting for the perfect mate and will eventually marry a man.

Picked this up on the clearance rack for $1.00. It's a cute book and will make a good little gift for a friend of mine who's also single.

[Cherry Griffith · Rating 4 out of 5]

This little book totally cracked me up! Seriously why do people ask, "Why aren't you married?" It's not like there's ever a good answer so why ask?
