it was ok

I would rate this book with one and a half stars, if I could. The anthology started out fairly strong with some creative spins on typical love stories, but the gender stereotyping became rather frustrating and repetitive by the middle of the book. The author's humorous exaggeration is enjoyable and the pieces are well-written, but some of the stereotypes that the author choose in particular for the image of the "girlfriend" were grating. I would have loved to read humorous love stories that were NOT entirely hetero-normative and full of, at times, destructive gender stereotypes.
