Daria Snadowsky’s, “Anatomy of a Single Girl”, follows the fictional Dominique, a high school graduate who is in the middle of an in-between stage in her life. She’s in-between romantically, with her future and living arrangements, and even her seemingly stable friendships.

 
At this point, the only constant in her life is her internship at a hospital, which will inevitably add to the list of complications.
Aimed at an older-teen audience (as it contains some relatively explicit sexual content), this novel is likely relatable to many young adult females. Dom is faced with many changes accompanied with the transition between high school and university. Her first heartbreak makes her hesitant in the relationship world, and unexpected drama strains once stable aspects of her life.
Summary aside, I enjoyed this book.

 
The main character is developed as a strong individual, who isn’t scared to express concern when necessary, and has control over her mind and body.

 
Being a teen, romance-oriented piece, I didn’t expect much when I started reading. It was a pleasant surprise when brooding vampires or weepy, female leads did not immediately greet me.

 
The character development is admirable, and Dom ends up learning something that will help her through her personal endeavors; not exclusively concerning romance.

 
This can be a bit painful at times. Due to the roller coaster likeness of Dom and her multiple complex relationships with her parents, best friend, additional college friends, and new boyfriend, things do become slightly obsessive from her. For example: since sex is such an important part of this novel, her hesitance and fear concerning it become slightly overused.
Though it is the second book in the Anatomy series of Snadowsky’s, I found that there wasn’t any sort of difficulty reading or understanding the content as a stand-alone piece.

 
With this said, “Anatomy of a Boyfriend” is likely something to read prior to Single Girl, as it provides back-story information about Dom and her previous relationships, though it isn’t completely necessary.
