«The Man of My Dreams» is Curtis Sittenfeld's contemporary romance novel, in paperback (352 pages, in English).
Hannah, at fourteen, watches her parents' marriage fall apart while magazines show dream weddings. For fifteen years she wonders whether blaming childhood for adult failures, settling for someone who isn't her soulmate is maturity or defeat, and whether risking it for someone who may not love her back is courage or pathos.
It was originally published in English in 2006; this 2011 edition appeared under the Black Swan imprint of Transworld Publishers.
For readers of contemporary romance and women's fiction with a protagonist who moves from adolescence to adult life.
