This was a wonderful book. She learned a lot of life lessons and grew so much in just one year. This book reminds you to relish in the simple things and stop and smell the roses. I loved it. Great read.

I don't really recommend this book, unless you're horribly bored and it's on sale for 50 cents at a yard sale. Predictable, rushed, not a lot of fun. Yawnsville. Okay, it had its moments, but they were very few and far between.

Eh, I mean, I felt the random desire to read some chick lit. And I thought it might be fun to read about online dating, and this was (surprisingly, actually) pretty much all I could find. It was not terrible, evidenced by the fact that I actually read the whole thing, but it wasn't great. I can't say I was terribly fond of the protagonist, to be honest, which I think is important for this sort of story. But as far as books from this genre goes, it was probably still above the curve!

Reminds me of internet dating.... Thank God I'm married and don't have to deal with the dating scene anymore :)

Didn't read much because I remember reading it before. Probably 3 or 4 stars, but can't remember exactly.

The characters are fine, plot and side plots ideas are good, but the execution is a bit spotty--some flow issues, some roughness--the whole is not greater than the sum of its parts. British, so nice British-isms and good one-liners. A fluff book. Might read it again.

Added 2012 while purging books:
I still think about this one occasionally, which means some of the characters were more memorable than originally thought and the plot made more of a point. I probably identify with the main character for several reasons as well. I like how the interaction plays out with the heroine and the one guy. Also I like the portrayal of the dating scene. May need to read again.

Hilarious!

This type of chic lit is normally not my thing. I'm talking this formula:

*London
*Single girl in her 30's
*Friends who simply cannot accept that
*A gay friend acting like a manual for the gay stereotype handbook
*An idiot friend who she hates but needs because she thinks she owns her
*A job at a television channel with an idiot boss
*A superficial hot guy she hopes is the one
*The nice guy who actually is the one

But this book was a little bit deeper, having issues like sick children, breast cancer etc.
From time to time it was actually pretty funny as well.

A big plus for not having a main character obsessing about her weight or to quit smoking but never succeeds. We get it, we are weak people.

It brings up the issue of internet dating. Some think it's desperate. Personally, I'd love if people could just mind their own buissiness and stop judging people. So someone is vegan, homosexual or does internet dating. Big freakin' deal. Glad the author seemed to have some similar views on that point.

But I dont think I'll continue reading this kind of books.

Cute!

For me, its an ok read to pass the time though the storyline does disappoint me because its just way off from what the title of the book scream out. It does pinned point some of the idea of "love @ first site" but didn't really quite deliver for me and the ending is just to all of sudden wrap it up style. On the bright side, the story does touched regarding what important in life most.

Favorite new British author!

This was such a funny book! Ithought a lot of Jesss's dates had such different personalities. I even liked her as a character. I kind of knew which of the guys she'd end up with but this book was just what I needed to read.
