In Theoretically Speaking, my MC, Aeryn, is this extremely determined girl who will stop at pretty much nothing to get what she wants. And what she wants right now is to find Mr. Perfect. To keep up with all her criteria, she lists them down.The list is mentioned a few times throughout the book but never does the reader know every single point on this ridiculously specific, crazy and long list.
Here's a little treat: Aeryn's complete checklist for Mr. Right:

Phillies, woo!
Pfft, why are the dimple(s) and English accent optional? Those should definitely be required with a capital R.
By the way, what a cute list. :) Can't wait to read TS.
The English accent is optional because after 18 years, Aeryn hasn't meant a single guy with a British accent, so she's keeping her options open :P
But the dimple's optional for no particular reason.
