Starting Over

I picked up a copy of this book while browsing at a discount bookstore in 2002 because I was a fan of the movie with Burt Reynolds.(I saw it on HBO as a kid). This book turned out to be nothing like the movie, as it was much better. Whereas the movie was a standard romantic comedy, this was a hysterical chronicle of single life in your 30's for both the divorced and the never married. I laughed out loud several times. The setting was the early 1970's , but the mindsets, trials, and tribulations of dating in your 30's portrayed in this novel were universal- and surprisingly relevant to my life and the lives of other singles I know today. I have read it three times since I bought it three years ago, and it gets more relatable each time- probably because I'm the exact same age now as the main character, Phil Potter. I highly recommend it for 30-something singles- if you can find a copy.....
