## About this gift

This funny A-Z book of dating turnoffs is a gift for anyone who has ever caught the ick. It suits book lovers, friends with dating stories to swap, and anyone who enjoys a bit of second-hand cringe.

Ari Cagan has gathered more than 175 real-life dating cases into one hardback of 224 pages, arranged from A to Z. Entries include a guy who won't eat polenta because it sounds like placenta, and a girl who kisses each of her 30 stuffed animals goodnight.

Christmas, birthdays and Valentine's Day all call for a gift that is witty and a little cringe. It is a fun pick for a Secret Santa, a stocking or a friend's birthday, and it reads just as well on a quiet evening in. Pick up The Ick Files and start at A.
