Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr Good Enough - Softcover
When Lori Gottlieb found herself forty and still single, she came to an uncomfortable realisation. If so many of her friends were very happily married to 'good enough' guys, the type of men who might not make you weak in the knees but made great partners and fathers, maybe she had been looking for the wrong man. Could her Mr Right have been, well, right in front of her all along? Funny, confronting and very very real, Marry Him is Lori Gottlieb's account of her search for a partner and the adjustments she had to make to her own expectations in order to find happiness.

Review:
From the Publisher:
‘If it’s a conventional happy ending you want...then I urge you to take heed of what Lori Gottlieb has to say.’ Charlotte Metcalf, Daily Mail.
‘Wow, has this one divided the Grazia office! Romantics versus Realists...’ Grazia Daily
‘She’s certainly on to something...’ Ed West, Daily Telegraph
‘Part The Rules and part Malcom Gladwellian sociopop, Mr Good Enough is surprisingly, unnervingly convincing.’ Oprah Magazine
‘We cut our coat according to our cloth in life and should do exactly the same in love. Of course, the miraculous thing about opting for Mr Second Best is that the moment you open your heart to the possibility of loving him...you’ll wonder why you didn’t realise he was a top of the range model all along.’ Vanessa Feltz, Daily Express
‘What Lori Gottlieb is saying isn’t subversive - it’s smart. A thoroughly entertaining reality check, it will make single women laugh and squirm, and married people appreciate their spouses even more.’ Diablo Cody, Oscar-winning screen writer of Juno.
