THE BETWEEN BOYFRIENDS BOOK: A collection of cautiously hopeful essays

For many months now, I've been dying for this book by Cindy Chupack, one of the writers and executive producers of Sex and the City. I came upon it last November at Fully Booked (the red velvet cover attracted me) and I ended up giggling alone. I must have looked like a psycho to the other people in the bookstore. I found it a tad expensive kasi so I didn't buy it. What I would do instead was go there whenever i have free time, sit in one of the chairs and start from whatever page i left off the last time. Cheapo ko noh? Hehehehe! Kulang na lang, i-dogear ko yung pages!!! The book features a collection of her witty, sarcastic and poignantly funny essays about love, singlehood and everything else in between. My favorite essays in the book are "Sexual Sorbet", "Last Call", "Getaway Bar", "The Real New York Marathon" and "Hey Baby Weight". Now, come to think of it, i love all her essays!

Will share with you some words i gathered from this hilarious book!

RELATIONSHIP RE-RUNS: A sobering stage when you realize that the men you meet are basically repeats of the men you've already dated.

PREMATURE "WE" JACULATION: A commom dating dysfunction occuring when one member of a couple uses the word "we" before the other is ready.

LAST CALL: A bachelor's final desperate phone call warning ex-girlfriends he's about to go off the market.
