The blurb on the back of the book says "What woman wouldn't want a man like Gabe Rose?" I'll have to chime in and say "this one." Gabe chases the woman of his dreams, yet when he finally gets her in bed he's impotent because she's older (42 or 43 to his 30) and fleshy, and he's been conditioned by society only to become aroused by tight thin young women. In the spirit of honesty he tells her this and can't see why she gets so upset. There too much drama, too much self analysis, and too much jealousy in this relationship for me to want any part of it. When Wood writes about food and restaurants he's very witty, but the relationships left me cold. ( )
