Ever wonder why they take forever to make a decision? Or why they always seem to need to be busy? How about those who thrive on conflict, are ultra-competitive, or just can’t seem to say “I love you”? And let’s not forget the person who used to be so cute and now drives you absolutely bananas!
In Pick Me! Loving and Living with People You Just Don’t Get, author Lynne Schinella takes you on a hilarious and insightful journey through the ups and downs of our “Fruit” personalities in love. Based on her previous work, Bite Me! And Other Do’s and Don’ts of Dealing with Our Differences, Lynne explores how our fruit-based personality types (Apples, Bananas, Mangoes, and Limes) affect personal relationships—and why the person you fell for may be driving you crazy now.
Through real-life relationship stories that are equal parts funny, relatable, and frustrating, Lynne explains how we often fall for our opposite Fruit. Apples and Bananas, for instance, are drawn to each other because they balance each other out—Apples love taking charge, while Bananas love having someone else make the tough decisions. Mangoes, with their spontaneous energy, love the structure that Limes bring, and Limes enjoy the social boost they get from a Mango partner. It all starts off great, but as time goes on, those differences that once seemed charming can become challenges.
Understanding our Fruit personalities is key to creating healthier, happier relationships. By learning how your partner needs to be loved (rather than just how you prefer to give love), you’ll discover new ways to connect, respect, and navigate the delightful mess that is life with someone you just don’t always “get.”
So, whether you’re an Apple paired with a Banana or a Mango trying to make sense of a Lime, this fun and insightful book will help you laugh, learn, and love better!
