Don’t be fooled by the title. My motivation for picking up this book was reading something else from Lori (having loved Maybe you should talk to someone) and to hear her perspective on who one should marry.

However the book was so much more. The “settling�� in the title makes it sound as if she is asking women to lower their standards. But instead, the book is about identifying what really matters in the long run and being more intentional in the dating process. The audience for the book is single women looking to date. Although written more than a decade ago, the book is a social commentary on why there is a growing population of single 40 year women, that is relevant even today. Parts of the books serves a mirror to someone having baseless expectations of a life partner, encouraging the reader to question these expectations.

P.S. you have to be the right audience to enjoy this book. It’s not for everyone, especially not the faint hearted. It’s one of those books where you take in some perspective but leave what you don’t agree with
