I wanted to like this, but it just fell flat. I didn’t care for the tone, and I honestly almost didn’t finish it.

fter the break up of a long term relationship, Matteson Perry decides to take a year off from serious dating and try to only date and have sex in a non-serious way. This involves one night stands, casual sex, friends-with-benefits arrangements and a week at Burning Man (which, much to no one's surprise, seems like not my thing at all--sleeping outside for a week, tons of drugs and random people--ugh).

One thing I gathered from this book is that confidence is almost everything when meeting people and you really can get good at dating. After a year, he seems kind of interested in a girl, but realizes he really likes his life the way it is. And then, he meets someone who, as in all good love stories, makes me realize he wants to change his life.

Throughout the memoir, he also meets up with his buddies for brunch, which is funny b/c he always makes fun of brunch foods and recites the order he clearly invented for the book.
