The hero of this small but surprisingly cheerful, sometimes sarcastic, and sometimes touching book is about to get married. And the father, the same one whose aphorisms became famous thanks to Justin Halpern’s previous book “F*cked, Said the Father,” says: “I’ll tell you what I did before I asked for your mother’s hand: I retired for the day, sat, thought everything I managed to learn about myself and about women.” And the son remembers how he suffered and suffered as a teenager, how he was rejected for the first time, how he finally lost his innocence, how he tried to grow up and find true love.
