Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About, by Mil Millington

Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About: A Novel One of my reading equivalents of comfort food- I read this over and over, and laugh myself silly every time. Pel and Ursula are one of my all time favorite fictional couples.

A Certain Chemistry, by Mil Millington



Ok book, not nearly as well done or as funny as Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About.

In fact, this kind of had God as a narrator of bits, and that annoyed the hell out of me, and the story was kind of depressing.

Tom is a ghostwriter, happily living in Edinburgh with his girlfriend Sara, when he is given the job of ghosting an autobiography for nighttime soap star Georgina Nye.

Tom falls for Georgina, writes his best book ever, giving Georgina political and feminist arguments that she can't discuss on the book-tour talk shows, etc, and fucks up his relationship with Sara.

Yup.

It really was kind of a bummer.

Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About, by Mil Millington



Hands down, one of the funniest books i have ever read. This was a re-read, actually, but still, I was at that point where loud laughs were just erupting form me as I read. Pel and Ursula are fantastic. Love this book.
