Love & Romance Self-Help Books

From a roundup of recent titles:
As it happens, there is a book for each phase of romance, including that annoying pre-relationship phase, sometimes called “drunk and lonely”: Dating Sucks: What to do When Your Love Life Makes You Miserable, by Joanne Kimes. One encouraging solution to that dilemma comes from Alexa Joy Sherman and Nicole Tocantins, authors of The Happy Hook-Up: A Single Girl’s Guide to Casual Sex. Now, we normally don’t endorse products, but … never mind.
On to the work at hand. Let’s start with Mr. Right, Right Now! Man Catching Made Easy, by E. Jean Carroll. The pitch: The man of your dreams in six weeks. Don’t have six weeks? Try How to Make Someone Love You in 90 Minutes or Less, Forever!, by Nicholas Boothman, whose previous book was How to Make People Like You in 90 Seconds or Less. Next up, we hope: How to Stop Writing Self-Help Books in 9 Seconds or Less.
