Men I'm Not Married To; Women I'm Not Married To

"Men I'm Not Married To; Women I'm Not Married To" by Dorothy Parker and Franklin P. Adams is a funny look at people the writers knew in the 1920s. Parker and Adams cleverly poke fun at the funny habits, weird ways, and strange qualities of these folks, who are known to them but never became their spouses. The book likely talks about what they saw in society and offers funny thoughts on friendships and crushes that didn't go anywhere. Parker starts by introducing funny and over-the-top men, like Freddie, who is always trying to be funny but is often ignored, and Mortimer and Charlie, who are odd in ways that make them unforgettable but hard to love. Adams then writes about women, like Elaine and Maude, showing their personalities and how they fit into his life, from nice to annoying. Parker and Adams cleverly show how love and relationships can be complicated, making them both laugh and feel relieved that they didn't marry these unique people.
