Guy Lit, if there is such a thing, and excellent.

What was one of the most memorable moments of I Suck at Girls?

When the author enlists his 'friend' to help him conquer his fear of going into the canyon. That episode is an adolescent adventure worthy of Tom Sawyer. That unexpected sense of "victory or death" at its conclusion had me laughing out loud.

Any additional comments?

The theme that I, and I suspect many men, can relate to so easily is that of having great advice regularly pressed upon you, but without the ability to comprehend the advice until it's in hindsight. Halpern captures this perfectly, and you come away feeling like he told part of your story too.

I wish I could listen to this book forever

This is the funniest book I’ve listened to in a VERY long time! It’s worth ten times the price!

Fun read, tough if you’re an anime nerd

Fun stories just a bit odd hearing the voice of Goku for Justin in his 20s.

Excellent. A must read for any guy.

Enjoy this book so much I’ve probably listened to it a handful of times since its release. A must for any young man entering the dating scene.

Hilarious Listen

Any additional comments?

I got this book on a whim because I read that it was funny. It was a great look at what my generation of single people go through and how life shapes us all. There's so much love within this family, but it's expressed so vulgarly that it's funny. And you'll find yourself remembering your childhood and nodding along with the narrator.
