Chris Wheeler is your normal everyday guy. He’s got a nice house, has a good job, has good friends, and generally has a good life. But there’s one thing that Chris wishes he could change. He is tired of being called a “nice guy”. And so begins the story of Nice Guys Finish Last. Chris’ best friend from college, Damon Jeffries, came to visit while in town for a conference. On the night Damon came in, he ended up spending the night with Angela Crockett, one of Chris’s co-workers. Chris had been trying to ask Angela out for quite some time, but to no avail. He didn’t quite understand how Damon could come in and get that far with her in one night. Damon ended up spending that entire weekend with Angela, leaving Chris all alone to ponder the whole situation by himself. Over the course of time as Damon and Angela’s relationship grew, Chris finds himself trying to meet women on his own. He first meets Valerie Taylor at a local bookstore. Valerie is much older than Chris, but they hit it off and continually spend time with each other for a while. When things fizzle between the two, Chris finds himself meeting Susan Lambert at a downtown club while out on the town with his friends. All the while, everybody is giving Chris all kinds of advice about women and relationships. Damon, Angela, Chris’ friends, his team members from work, and even his parents all give their two cents’ worth. In the final outcome, we get to find out if Chris will finally win out and get the girl or does Chris epitomize the title of this book: Nice Guys Finish Last.
