I came across this book ("The Gaggle" by Jessica Massa) quite randomly and unexpectedly after reading an
article about it on CNN last week. I'm not normally one to be drawn to
typical dating/relationship advice self-help-y books....which is exactly
why I loved this book so much. While most dating/how-to-find-love books
(particularly those geared towards heterosexual women) harp on all the
stereotypical "do's" and "don'ts" in order to snag 'the one,' "The
Gaggle" turns the focus to one of self-discovery. Incredibly refreshing!
It caters to those of us navigating through the confusing post-modern
dating world who are looking for something different. After reading this
book, I have more insight, optimism, and an overall more relaxed
outlook on dating/relationships in the 21st century. I had an epiphany
of sorts. Part of my problem had been my mindset. I was going about it
all wrong....dating and/or pursuing a long-term relationship in very
black and white terms. "The Gaggle" encourages women to explore those
shades of grey with an open mind, awareness, and sense of adventure(aka,
those various men in your life whom serve a very functional and/or
meaningful role without you even realizing it...until you read what's in
this book!). I have a great 'gaggle' of fun, intelligent, attractive,
and caring men in my life. How can I not feel excited and grateful to
have SEVERAL guys in my life that fulfill me in one or more ways?
