Rubbish Boyfriends
Page 35
Are you nuts? This man has to go as a matter of urgency because, if you stay with him, you will end up either i) killing him or ii) killing yourself. Ditch him immediately.
This guy is seriously dim. He is just too out of touch to be viable boyfriend material. Ditch him immediately.
Are you living in a fantasy world? This perfect guy does not exist. And, if by some freak of biology he does, he’s a total drip. You know what we’re going to say: Ditch him immediately.
You didn’t tick any of the options because your bloke doesn’t fit any of them? Bingo! Hang on to that guy. He could be The One.

About the Author
RUBBISH BOYFRIENDS
Jessie Jones is the pseudonym of a London-based bestselling author. She thoroughly enjoyed writing Rubbish Boyfriends and is wondering if there will be a market for a follow-up. Or maybe a series? How about Rubbish Husbands/Rubbish Children/Rubbish Mid-Life Crisis/Rubbish Old People’s Homes? She is currently working on her sixth novel, several TV treatments and a Hollywood blockbuster featuring her pals Brad Pitt and George Clooney. No, sorry, that bit’s just rubbish …
