The world makes single life look very appealing, you can have a career, date who you want, and the world is your oyster. "As Always, Dave" has a very different outlook. Most single members of the church want to find their Mr. or Mrs. Right and settle down to a life of happiness with an eternal companion. Jack Weyland portrays in his usual humorous way, that finding the right partner in life is not very easy, no matter where, or who you are. His characters in this book also learn that sometimes finding what they want in life is a matter of perspective and changing how they look at themselves. "As Always, Dave" is a good book for teenagers and young single adults.
