Review: A "Y" Chromosome Will Keep You From Asking "Why"

I really enjoyed The Accidental Bachelor. I found it very true to life...young man, confused about growing up and unable to leave the influence of his life-long friends, behind. Unsure of who he is or who he wants to be in an uncertain time. This is a familiar struggle of many men I know, including myself. I saw in the reviews, that a lot of woman "hated" this book, but guess what...it's not always about you! (That's right, I said it.) I'm always amazed how easy it is for the female of the species to cut ties and to leave friendships behind when they are no longer being served by them. But with Finn, these are the "boys" he grew up with and he has more than memory and secrets with them...he has genuine love. Yes, he knows that some of them will never grow up. He's having the same issues with commitment. Yes, some of them have issues with addictive behavior. He has some of those, too. The boys who succeed as future men are the ones who can move forward with maturation and still keep their friends and Finn is on his path to find the dream job AND get the girl AND remain true to his friends.
