Book Description:
Forget online dating, matchmakers, and awkward setups. In this insightful essay, Jade Chang, author of The Wangs vs. the World, exposes the secrets behind the latest solution for finding love in the twenty-first century.
The new dating craze among the divorced, recently broken up with, and frustrated singles of Los Angeles starts with the creation of "the List." The converted swear by it - just write down everything you want in a partner, and the cosmos will provide. But could such a simple, old-fashioned technique actually work? Enter Jade, who investigates this increasingly popular path to a soul mate, with charming and hilarious effects, tracing the history of list making - and learning about dating and love along the way.
The List is part of The Real Thing, a collection of moving, hilarious, and big-hearted essays on the modern realities of friendship, romance, commitment, and love. Each story can be listened to in a single sitting.
My Opinion:
This was a kindle in motion free audiobook from Audible. I enjoyed this relationship superstition. The author describes how writing a list of the person you want to be with, will come true. She talks of others that having written a list and of wondering if she should write a list. I enjoyed this tale. She goes through talking about people who have written the list and claim that is has worked for them and they have found love using this method.
I am not sure that this will work or not as I have never written a list. But this author searches for the answer of writing the list. She states that maybe it's your mind that can get you what you want not exactly writing a list alone. Maybe it's magic, maybe it's just because you can conjure it up? By writing it, it comes true. Listen to the book and find out for yourself if she has written a list.
I did enjoy the author narration of the book.
I enjoyed this short tale of maybe's. I thank the author and Audible for the book to enjoy!

interesting cover. many years ago writing lists about who we thought we wanted as a partner for life was very real. than we looked for that person and dating began.
