Dear Girls Above Me

Description
Based on the wildly popular Twitter feed Dear Girls Above Me, a roman à clef about how thinking like a couple of girls turned one single guy into a better man.
When Charlie McDowell began sharing his open letters to his noisy upstairs neighbors—two impossibly ditzy female roommates in their mid-twenties—on Twitter, his feed quickly went viral. His followers multiplied and he got the attention of everyone from celebrities to production studios to major media outlets such as Time and Glamour. Now Dear Girls breaks out of the 140-character limit as Charlie imagines what would happen if he put the wisdom of the girls to the test.
After being unceremoniously dumped by the girl he was certain was “the one,” Charlie realized his neighbors’ conversations were not only amusing, but also offered him access to a completely uncensored woman’s perspective on the world. From the importance of effectively Facebook-stalking potential girlfriends and effortlessly pulling off pastel, to learning when in the early stages of dating is too presumptuous to bring a condom and how to turn food poisoning into a dieting advantage, the girls get Charlie into trouble, but they also get him out of it—without ever having a clue of their impact on him.

Lots of laughs
4By DGSawtellNeed a break from your own stressful day? Then read a chapter of Charlie's book. I downloaded the sample and laughed till I couldn't breathe. Had to buy. I'm glad to have had a look inside Charlie's life, and the girls upstairs. His parents are a pleasant surprise and totally explain their Disneyland trip.Hilarious read
5By Artgeek2007It's hard to believe people like Cathy and Claire (the girls above) exist. Charlie's commentary on their "insightful" comments is really entertaining and hilarious. Definitely worth purchasing this book.Easy read.
