“Marry Me” by Dan Rhodes  (2013) –  174 pages

The men in ‘Marry Me’ by Dan Rhodes tend to have star-dazed love-struck attitudes toward marriage such as “I can’t believe I’m going to marry the girl of my dreams.”  However the women are more realistic, saying “It’s a legal procedure.  Let’s just get through it with the minimum of fuss.”

‘Marry Me’ is a fun little book of 79 very short stories, each about as long as this post, on love and marriage.  Each of these stories will put a smile on your face especially if you’ve gone through the marriage process yourself. The book is deadpan, wry, and cynical. It is an extremely quick read and a most enjoyable way to pass a couple hours.
