Love doesn't always conquer all, but these stories suggest Rich thinks its certainly ought to."-- Daily Beast Love can be messy, painful, and even tragic. When seen through the eyes of Simon Rich it can also be hilarious. In these ingenious stories, Rich conjures up some unforgettable romances: an unused prophylactic describes life inside a teenage boy's wallet; God juggles the demands of his needy girlfriend with the looming deadline for earth's creation; and a lovestruck Sherlock Holmes ignores all the clues that his girlfriend's been cheating on him. As enchanting, sweet, and absurd as love itself, these stories are an irresistible collection of delights. Review: Zany, unique, hysterical, and sometimes heartfelt stories. Read this collection!! - This might possibly be one of the funniest story collections I've ever read. I can't count the number of times I laughed out loud while reading, something that doesn't happen that often for me. The 30 stories in Simon Rich's uniquely creative, sometimes zany, sometimes heartfelt collection are all about relationships--finding them, trying to maintain them, and losing or ending them. And not every relationship is traditional--one story recounts Zeus' frustrations with an alcoholic, hiphop-loving Cupid, while another (one of the funniest in the collection) is narrated by a condom as he makes his journey from the drugstore into someone's wallet. Don't be dismayed by the fact that there are 30 stories--most are quite short; in fact, some only last a page or two. Some of my favorite stories in the collection are: Unprotected, the already-mentioned story narrated by the condom; Occupy Jen's Street, in which an Occupy Wall Street protest is somehow transformed into one trying to get a girl to date one of the protestors; Scared Straight, in which a group of teenagers trying to pursue long-term relationships are dissuaded by those stuck in the reality of those commitments; The Last Girlfriend on Earth, narrated by a man who has the last girlfriend on Earth; Invisible Man, in which a CIA agent using invisibility drugs to hunt down a terrorist gets distracted by spying on his ex-girlfriend; and Present, the story of a scientist who can never quite do right by his girlfriend. I found myself constantly marveling at some of the ideas Rich came up with, and the characters in his stories don't always seem to follow typical behaviors--a man's friends try to set him up with a female troll, characters have no problem dating Mother Teresa or Adolf Hitler. Some stories aren't quite stories--there are a few personal ads, a report about the excavation of a bar by archaeologists, even Jeopardy! questions/answers. As I mentioned earlier, some of the stories are quite short. And while Rich generally has a perfect grasp on how long his stories should run, a few ended so abruptly I can't help but wonder whether part of those stories got lost in the translation from print to e-book. But beyond that, Rich's voice is so creative, fresh, and fun, this was a tremendously fast read for me and an investment I'm glad I made. The funny thing is, I would never have heard of this collection if it weren't for a recommendation from desertcart. And now that I've read it, if Rich's other books are this funny, I'm going to have to read them all. Review: A fun read - This is an enjoyable book of brief, creative vignettes. There is no great insight, poignancy, or eloquence in these stories but this book is delightful and lighthearted. It's nice to find love stories that don't take themselves too seriously. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #12,775,002 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #6,157 in Humorous Fiction #7,467 in Short Stories Anthologies #8,500 in Short Stories (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,005 Reviews | ## Images ![Man Seeking Woman (originally published as The Last Girlfriend on Earth) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81fqzNd1OPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Zany, unique, hysterical, and sometimes heartfelt stories.

There is no great insight, poignancy, or eloquence in these stories but this book is delightful and lighthearted. It's nice to find love stories that don't take themselves too seriously. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Laughs and at least one touching story *by S***G on June 4, 2026* Simon Rich is a national treasure. My advice is to read every one of his books, not necessarily starting with this one, but this book is a good place to start. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/157581169-man-seeking-woman-originally-published-as-the-last-girlfriend-on](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/157581169-man-seeking-woman-originally-published-as-the-last-girlfriend-on) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-24*
