Predictable.

This book is a little "dated" in the respect that internet dating is looked upon as somewhat freakish (or is it still????) anyways - its set in 2004, but still a good read. A few serious parts that I wasnt prepared for, but overall, I liked this book and would recommend it to my friends.

Overall, it was a lovely book that any single woman, or even a man, should read.  Read rest of review

I tried to like this book...I really did...even enough to score it at least 2 stars...but I just couldn't. There was way too much use of the F-word...the main character even said it when she was being proposed too. The casualness they spoke about sex & other sexual acts was inappropriate and definitely did not add to what could have been a fun chick-lit novel. The only authentic moments in the novel centred around the sister's breast cancer diagnosis & treatment. Her reactions along with the effects on her family were the only real thing I read in this book.

I picked this book up because I've been overdoing the dystopia/post-apocalyptic fiction and I needed a little bit of happy. Although it starts out happy-go-lucky, it quickly packs an emotional wallop. I'll admit it -- at first, I was not pleased to have my chick lit interrupted by "serious." However, I'm glad I stuck with it. It ended up being a cute book to read and I enjoyed seeing the main character grow.

This was read by the best British gal - started out very fluffy, and then got sad, and had the perfect ending :)

Oh, I cannot believe it. I finally got to finish this book. It does't normally take me long to read a novel but this book somehow dragged unbelievably long.

So this book was supposedly about a thirty-four year old single british woman who found herself with a dating site profile, thanks to her not so friendly friend. Most of her dates were disappointment but one was more pleasing than other except she was left in the restaurant with the bill. Then supposedly an unexpected e-mail suitor showed up in her life and somehow would help change her views in life.

One thing that I can say is that the summary in the back of the book was a disappointment because the story was npt really what it said it was going to be. But, to say the least, I did like some parts of the book despite feeling like the story was not complete. I specially liked that somehow I see myself being her a decade from now. I am single workaholic in my mid twenties and it feels like I will get into my thirties having the same dilemmas as she does. I just can't help be disappointed though for the lack of the inclusion of the emails that were supposedly a surprise out of nowhere. I feel like they would have been big part of the book- well, suppossedly.

Final rating? 3/5 stars. It's okay but not a book I will read again nor see myself get excited to reread. I just wish it's more. :(

This isn't a must read but I was better than ok.

This was one of those rare books that went UP in stars the more I read. I thought at first it was a typical ho-hum comic romance, but as it went on it got deeper and better and more real. By the end, I loved it!

It was a cute story about the "interesting" online dating adventures one can encounter. It started out light and funny, but did have its serious parts so not your typical "red dress ink" type chick lit book. I read it through, but I wouldnt read it again.

Probably one of the better chick lit books I've read in a long time. The main character is vindicated, unlike some chick lits where the main character is forever stupid and self-loathing. Cheerful London read.
