What is this book about?
I Don’t Care About Your Band charts a distinctly human journey of a strong-willed but vulnerable protagonist who loves men like it’s her job, but who’s done with guys who know more about love songs than love. Klausner’s is a new outlook on dating in a time of pop culture obsession, and she spent her 20’s doing personal field research to back up her philosophies. This is the girl’s version of High Fidelity. By turns explicit, funny and moving, Klausner’s debut shows the evolution of a young woman who endured myriad encounters with the wrong guys, to emerge with real- world wisdom on matters of the heart. I Don’t Care About Your Band is Julie Klausner’s manifesto, and every one of us can relate.
