Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The ultimate compendium of hilarious, horrifying and cringe-worthy dating interactionsYou've felt it: that split second when someone you mightbe attracted to does or says something so profoundly unsexy that your entire nervous system shuts the operation down. Attraction: gone. Chemistry: dead. Congratulations - you've caught the ick.You're not alone. The Ick Filesis an A-Z of more than 175 real-life cases of instant attraction annihilation. Equal parts anthropological study and cautionary tale, it catalogues the tiny, bizarre and deeply specific behaviours that can send a promising romantic prospect straight into the no-thank-you zone. Prime offenders include:- A guy who won't eat polenta because it sounds too much like placenta- A girl who owns 30 stuffed animals and kisses every single one of them goodnight before she goes to sleep- A guy who gets his mother to cut his fingernails- A guy who 'doesn't really believe in' brushing his teeth- A guy who brings his laundry to an apartment dinner dateBased on the popular Instagram, @SubmitYourIck, and featuring fan-favourite submissions and new entries you'll wish you could unsee, The Ick Filesis a dictionary of dating rock bottoms, turning the internet's most unromantic romantic confessions into the best type of second-hand embarrassment.
