In "Center of the Universe," God struggles to balance the demands of his career with the needs of his long-term girlfriend. In "Magical Mr. Goat," a young girl's imaginary friend yearns to become "more than friends." In "Unprotected," an unused prophylactic recalls his years spent trapped inside a teen boy's wallet. The stories in Simon Rich's new book are bizarre, funny, and yet...relatable. Rich explores love's many complications-losing it, finding it, breaking it, and making it-and turns the ordinary into the absurd. With razor-sharp humor and illustrations, and just in time for Valentine's Day, Rich takes readers for an exhilarating, hilarious ride on the rollercoaster of love.

Review of 'Last Girlfriend on Earth' on 'Storygraph'

Clever and funny short stories. The TV series Man Seeking Women has a credit that says it is based on this book. But it's more like the these stories inspired the TV series.

I like the TV series more. It is somehow wackier and the characters are delightful.

This would be a good book for when you are too distracted to read a complicated novel.

It has magical creatures like trolls and Santa Claus, but no talking cats or rodents.
