This book had been on my To Read least for a year so I was extremely excited to finally get it from my local library. I started reading it and disliked it immediately. I was so disappointed I almost cried! I got about 20 pages in and decided to skim through the rest to see if the tone changed but it didn't. I liked the concept here but what I didn't like was the author's desperation and how she was so forceful about making new friends. I've also made a long distance move for a significant other and years later made a cross country move all by myself. I understand the desire for friends but I also believe in the power of The Universe bringing people into our lives and also the power of the choices we make (by the hobbies we choose, the job we take, etc) leading us to people who are right for us. I also firmly believe that the loneliness and the longing for friends is part of the journey. Learning to lean on yourself more (and/or your partner) is a HUGE part of life and growing as a person. The author was desperate to skip over that and I found that came across sad and not enjoyable to read at all.
