Industry Reviews

Carrie

5.0 out of 5 stars Beyond relatable - and wickedly funny.
  • If I ever decided to write my own tales of online dating, they'd read almost exactly like this book. Every awkward message, mismatched date, and catastrophic coffee meetup felt like deja vu - equal parts hilarious and painfully relatable. The author has somehow taken all the cringe and chaos of modern dating and spun it into pure gold, and I absolutely loved every page."

Teddy

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious
  • This book is fantastic, loaded with some very funny stories and situations. It reminds you how strange people can be especially when you are only just meeting them. There were some stories I could relate to and others that were so crazy I couldn't stop laughing. Stories are short, quick and get strange quickly which makes for very entertaining reading!

Glenn Dreger

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for some laughs
  • Humor is sometimes hard to find - I found a chuckle if not a laugh on every page
