Not what I expected.

I was promised: "an insightful, funny and straight-shooting narrative". Well, I didn't find the narrative insightful or funny and I'm at a loss what it was shooting straight at. It's the rather dull musings of a single woman that's happy with her life but not OK with being single. (Although near the end she says she is, after 15 years of dating-failures.)

It didn't help that many of the anecdotes or insights were accompanied by "LOL", "Wahaha" or "Waa". This was supposedly the narrative of a 42-year old. If she can't write like a grown-up, what makes her think she's mature enough for an adult relationship?

I was sort of expecting a book along the lines of Inappropriate Men by Stacey Ballis, which I didn't think was a good book either, but still better than this. There's 4.5 pages on how scammers on online dating sites work. And that's without mentioning that the dating site itself could be scamming you.

I guess if I want to read about a woman not being able to meet the right guy, I prefer it to be an actual story, with plot and dialogue. And actual humour.

Definitely not a "must-read for single women in their late-20s, 30s and 40s".

I read a copy of this book through Netgalley.
