How to meet, greet, and get along with members of the opposite sex is an eternal
conundrum for so many otherwise well-meaning and intelligent people who seem
to have no clue as to how to behave and what to talk about on a first date; dealing
with the pitfalls of ‘love triangle’ relationships; ending a relationship with grace, style
and dignity; and all the other elements that can sabotage a romance in this day and
age. That’s why Katharine Miller’s The Curable Romantic: Advice For The Romance-
Impaired, an impressive, practical, and ‘user friendly’ compilation of informed and
informative essays on love and relationships is such a welcome instructional for
anyone seeking help in figuring out who they should date, how they should conduct
a proper (and effective) courtship, and everything else from the use of pet names to
dealing with keepsakes after a breakup. Thoughtful, thought-provoking, and written
with a distinctly humorous flair, The Curable Romantic is very highly recommended
reading for the ‘romance challenged’.

The fact Katharine Miller isn’t a relationship guru/psychologist made this book,
which is equal part humorous monologue and relationship advice, a refreshing
change of pace. She is someone with an eye for detail, a self deprecating outlook
and a genuinely funny take on a topic which, let’s face it, has been examined from
just about every angle. All this means that even when I didn’t agree with her I found
myself giving her the benefit of the doubt. Her charm, style and honesty made this
book feel less like a collection of essays and more like a conversation over coffee with
a new, hip friend.

From companionship to courtship to relationship to jumping ship, this short and
sweet compilation covers everything you need to know about romance and is nothing
short of hilarious. Filled with tips and advice perfectly suited for the romance challenged,
this collection of colorful essays will serve as a wonderful guidebook for anyone
on the road to love. Should one find though that in their own personal situation
this book fails miserably on that last bit, I can safely promise it will, at least, give the
reader many a good laugh. Love is a tricky beast to master, but with Miller’s helpful
and often humorous advice readers should be able to more properly arm themselves
for what is yet to come in their relationships of the heart.
