Publisher Description

Seth Baumgartner just had the worst day of his life.

His girlfriend dumped him (at Applebee's), he spied his father on a date with a woman who is not his mother (also at Applebee's!), and he lost his fourth job of the year. It's like every relationship he cares about is imploding, and he can't figure out what's going on.

To find answers, Seth decides to start an anonymous podcast called The Love Manifesto, exploring what love is, why love is, and why we're stupid enough to keep going back for more. Things start looking up when Seth gets a job at a golf club with his hilarious and smut-minded best friend, Dimitri, and Dimitri's sister, Audrey. With their help, Seth tracks down his father's mystery date, hits the most infamous bogey in the history of golf, and discovers that sometimes love means eating the worst chicken-salad sandwich you can ever imagine.

"Completely unfair of me to say that I picked it up because it was said to me that it was alike to John Green book's and that I liked it mainly for that reason, but you can do a lot worse than John Green and this book is on par."

    " A book so full of 2010 pop culture, this novel feels more like a blog or an issue of people magazine, but it's a cute book, realistic fiction, with a sweet love story and the worst chicken salad sandwich in the world. "

    " Sort of funny, sort of nice to watch the characters grow up, but there is nothing more boring than reading about people playing golf. The description makes a big deal out of the Seth's podcasting, but for every page of podcast, there's about three more of golf. Snore. "

    " I found this at a Barnes & Noble when I was on vacation last summer and it looked really good. But it didn't live up to my expectations. I guess most of the problem was that it was from a guy's point of view. Normally, I'm not opposed to that (sometimes they're really good, like Caleb from Leaving Paradise), but something about this one didn't click with me. Seth whined about his ex-girlfriend the whole time and generally mucked everything up. "

    " I just couldn't finish this, great premise, but I just wanted it to be more about the music & less about the possible affair Seth's dad is having. Also the heartbreak just didn't seem dramatic enough, too much other day to day distractions taking place. "
