(Originally published 2012, hardcover edition 178 pages)
While Mr. Halpern's dad plays a sizable role in the author's second book, he is
not the primary focus like in his wonderfully entertaining "Sh*t My Dad Says."
The stories in this memoir center on Mr. Halpern's less-than-stellar
relationship with the opposite sex. He takes you through from his childhood up
until the point in which he proposes to a woman. The book has plenty of
gut-busting passages. As usual, his profanity-addicted dad is entertaining as
hell and the author has a great knack for writing every day events in a very
funny manner. Surprisingly, despite the book being sprinkled with a fair amount
of swearing, at its core it is a sweet memoir. "I Suck at Girls" was a perfect
bromide for me after having read a large book about genocide. I believe I may
have laughed while reading almost every one of the 178-pages in the book. If
you're looking for a quick, entertaining read, Mr. Halpern's memoir is a
wonderful choice.
