Reminded me of my experience with online dating. Funny, but had its serious moments too.

I had the audio version of the book and enjoyed the it. Towards the end it was somewhat predictable but still enjoyable. This is a woman's story through dating specifically internet dating. The story follows the trial and tribulations of the her life whether it be family or dating.

this was another one i listened to at work.
i wanted something light.

it was cute. it did go on a bit long but again, i was enjoying listening to it so i just kept going.

i liked hearing about the various dates she met.
i haven't done online dating but i know many people who have. i would recommend this to them b/c they could probably relate.
i found jess to be a relatable & likable character.

i had a feeling about who she should end up with so i kept going to see if i was right.
i wanted to know how it ended. it didn't disappoint. i thought the ending was delightful.

This book was ok. It was cute and fun and kept me interested and entertained. I really liked the ending and thought it was really cute, although it wasn't original at all. there wasn't a whole lot of romantic suspense in this one, but it was still fun. it does have some language and sex, so i don't feel like i can really recommend it. but it was a fun read for vacation.

As negative as this may sound of me to say this, but this story was higly predictable. Here you have a single woman in her 30's, desperately seeking to find a soulmate. She encounters with multiple asswipes (some of the situations are funny) but then gets serious, she finally meets a guy she thinks he's gay, then ends up staying with him and being engaged with him on her 35th birthday party while her sister is suffering from cancer. I liked it, but I don't know, it could've been better.Almost sounded like "You Got Mail" (only the movie was better)

I liked this book. I liked the characters and I liked watching Jessica grow up and stand up for herself. For once I actually didn't predict the ending.

Not a terrible read...but not a page turner either. There were some very funny bits, but most of the story was quite predictable.

There's a portion in the book that went:

"I came home from the hairdresser's on Thursday afternoon, and Araminta greeted me with the words 'Herro, Mammy,'" she says, mimicking a Filipino accent. "I mean, can you imagine? The nanny will have to go."

I'm Filipino, and I just want to clarify, though we speak with an accent, we still pronounce L as Ls and R as Rs. The author was probably thinking of another nation when she wrote this part.

Cute but predictable. Fun summer beach read though.

The book that started me on loving this author. I expected light entertainment, and was delighted to find believable characters, life and challenges. I didn't sleep, but had to see the book to the end. There was definitely laughter... and there may have been a few tears.

Unfortunately, her books are hard to find and I lost them all in a house fire a few years ago. I troll the used bookstores, hoping to find copies of her books. So far, I have found one. :-(

I'm so glad I'm married.

Jessica Monroe is given the passive-aggressive "gift" of someone posting her profile on an on-line dating site. Gamely, she agrees to go on these dates, hoping eventually to find someone to love and marry. She is 34, after all, and her biological clock is ticking... The dates are so terrible (adulterers, know-it-all do-gooders, swingers, cheapskates) they seem contrived rather than based on someone real dating experience. However, I was rolling with laughter. True or not, they are hysterical.

Jessica was such a contradiction. She's bitchy and vocal to the dates, but stays through the dates out of politeness when any sane person would say, You know what? This is going to work." Why spend two hours with someone when you know after the first 20 minutes that nothing's happening. And then when she finally lets her true feelings known- watch out! Jessica's vicious, but says what many of us have dreamed of saying. Yet while she's dating and working, her family is struck by tragedy. Laughter and tears make for a great book combo. Yes, there's sex, shopping, drama, and pathos. I enjoyed. Hope you will too.
