“Alan
Macklin is your average 17-year-old guy with a simple goal. He wants to get a
girl. But trial and error has made one thing perfectly clear: When it comes to
the opposite sex Alan keeps on striking out. Repeatedly. And painfully. He know
he needs help. His friend Jeremy proves useless, so he turns to someone who
might actually have some good advice.
Maggie
McPherson has lots of goals for herself, including a career in law or
psychology, but she needs some cash to reach them. Alan becomes the perfect
client for her new consulting business. A desperate guy with a simple objective
and deep pockets. For a fee, she takes on the Alan project and coaches him from
girl to girl, base to base. With Maggie’s guidance, Alan builds his dating
experience until he’s convinced he can get along without her coaching. But soon
he’s washed up on the romantic shores, dumped by the woman of his dreams. Once
again, there’s only one person who can give Alan the advice he need… but he has to be willing to listen.”
My
Rating: 3/5
This book was just ok. It wasn’t
great, it wasn’t awful, just so-so. I think this book does do a lot to try to interpret
the male teenage mind. And if this book is to be believed, all guys really
think about is sex. And your thinking, hey Sidny any high schooler with a
decent brain could tell you that, and I’d say yes you’re right. Big surprise
there. Hormones are in the air. I think this is a book for guys to help them
realize that maybe there should be something more important to them than
getting in someone’s pants. I don’t really know though. I don’t know if there
really was a point to this book at all. All in all, I think that this book was
decent and included pretty interesting characters.
THANK YOU PAUL KROPP FOR
LETTING US GIRLS SEE WHAT IT’S AL ABOUT!
Thanks for reading,
Love,
Sidny
