Summary
Grace and AJ have been friends since their childhood days. They have fallen in love and has an on and off relationship. One day, something important happened to Grace that might change the course of her relationship with AJ. She started to evaluate things and even composed a list of steps to quitting the guy.
______________________________
12 Steps to Quitting AJ tells us a story of a couple who always break-up and get back together again. You'll notice that in the novel, Grace, the protagonist, is just like any other girl, fickle-minded, hopeless romantic and quite childish. She wants her man to be expressive in every creative way. And, she also wants to be the one to handle the reins. But of course, that isn't always possible.
The plot of the novel might confuse you for it is full of flashbacks narrating the love story of Grace and AJ. But, it is one interesting novel because you'll learn a lot of things not only about humans but also on animals. This is so because AJ is a veterinarian.
Another thing you'll love in the book is that it has a magazine-feel. It is full of guides that at one point, you might even find yourself wondering, "Is this really a novel or a magazine article?" But at the end, you'll still enjoy the story saying it's a nice read and that you learned from it.

I have never liked those kind of women once I became an adult.
I like smart women who actually think about the universe around them more than they think about looking good, dressing perfectly, and being approved of by their friends.
Women I like could be considered leaders in that they communicate a lot and have a lot of interesting and good ideas to share with those around them.
Fickle, childish women may make for amusing reading, but for real life I'd rather be friends with someone who was deep and thought intense unique thoughts.
Very nice post. I am also a girl but I think being childish is another kind of issue. I really don't like persons who are quite childish and hopeless romantic especially the fickle-minded.
It is good for a woman to have a mature thinking and a deep sense of responsibility because they are nice to be with an definitely can adjust their selves to any kind of situation.
