Book: The Last Girlfriend On Earth – Simon Rich

I read this book in 2 hours and it was worth every minute! I showed everyone around me the book as well, especially the parts that were pertinent to boyfriends.

Maybe I’ll give it another chance because this is a great and entertaining book.

 

One of my favourite stories starts like this:

On the second day, God separated the oceans from the sky. ‘Let there be a horizon,’ He said. And lo, a horizon appeared and God saw that it was good. And there was evening – the second night.

On the third day, God’s girlfriend came over and said He’d been acting distant lately. ‘I’m sorry,’ God said. ‘Things have been crazy this week at work…

Hope you’ll find it and love it like I did.
