Anatomy of a Single Girl by Daria Snadowsky
4.0
4 stars
Not as good as the first one for me, but still really enjoyable!
Review originally posted on The Book Addict's Guide: I felt like ANATOMY OF A BOYFRIEND really just hit it home with the realism and that’s why the book was so good. It was simple, yet entirely epic since these relatable tales of relationships, school, boyfriends, and sex are all epic moments in a teenager/young adult’s life. I really enjoyed reading Dom’s story — like she was a best friend of my own so I immediately picked up ANATOMY OF A SINGLE GIRL after finishing the first book.
ANATOMY OF A SINGLE GIRL was a little less relatable to me. Book two deals with Dom as a freshly single girl in the summer after her first year of college. She’s trying to figure out how to be a single person after this huge break-up and if she even wants to get back in a relationship again. I still enjoyed the a book a lot, but there wasn’t that element of “total relatablility” as I had with book one.
I really liked seeing Dom go through some typical college experiences as well. Through the encouragement of her friend Amy, she starts hooking up with super cute college boy named Guy. Dom’s true nature comes through when she has trouble separating all of her future & planning thoughts once they start hooking up which I couldn’t help but giggle at because that is SO one of my best friends. Dom felt a little different to me in that respect because she did change in so many ways from the first book but still has the same basis of beliefs and morals… With a few exceptions.
While ANATOMY OF A BOYFRIEND deals more with the firsts and high school love, ANATOMY OF A SINGLE GIRL is a bit more “new adult” and dealing with Dom’s personal decisions to even start a relationship or something purely physical as well as balancing work, family, and boys. The themes are a bit more adult as far as planning a future goes versus the excitement and drama or a first love/boyfriend.
Both were extremely enjoyable books that I read pretty much in one afternoon. They’re quick reads which was nice and it was great to be able to relate to Dom so well. If you’re looking for a good realistic contemporary, these are excellent choices!
