An American living in London, Lauren is intelligent, beautiful and loves to party. So why can't she convince a man she isn't after something more serious than scrambled eggs and goodbye in the morning?
Determined to snare some regular male affection, she embarks on a project: each month she will follow the rules of a different dating guide - from refusing to pay the bill to chatting up every man in her path - and will switch seamlessly to the next book at the end of each month.
Lauren's love life is about to get scientific . .
My thoughts:
I have missed the more chic-lit kind of fiction. It's always so funny, cute, weird, and embarrassing.
Lauren is an American in London. She has a failed relationship behind her and she it not looking for anything big. Just a bit of fun. But man, guys are so serious and run if they think you want more. She was fun and we could totally have been friends. And that is all I want from my main character.
But right, the story. So after the latest guy runs out she decides on this experiment. To read relationship guides and follow them for a month at a time. Yes hilarious. Because some of those, ha. She follows one made for men, one written in the 19th century. Those poor guys (if she dates them for more than one month) must think she is schizophrenic.
At the sidelines is her roommate, her on and off guy, and a few other minor parts. This is after all about her and the men she finds one way or another. That last way, ok, do not follow any more guides is all I have to say.
Conclusion:
Funny, and the kind of books that is just so light that the pages move on their own. Just what I needed. And hey it even has a happy ending for everyone.

ReplyDeleteOh fun :D Which one?
Delete"so light the pages move on their own"... I like the sound of that. Sweet read coming up to Valentine's day?
ReplyDeleteNow that would be perfect
DeleteI always love books like that! But it's true that I read less and less this genre, I need to go back to it!
ReplyDeleteI hope that you do
DeleteThis is seriously the ONE contemporary/chick-lit/whatever I've had my eye on. Glad you liked it ;)
ReplyDeleteCool :)
DeleteI think I should apply for a Green Card. Those wine charms...why they can't ship them abroad? I love the cover art btw. What do you think of the cover art? So very Roy Lichtenstein, no?
ReplyDeleteNo charms for you missy
Delete...yes?
Sounds cute.
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteI love the sounds of this one. I've been steering away from the chick lit genre lately but I'd like to read more of it.
ReplyDeleteYou should steer back
DeleteWhy London? I totally get it, but I am curious why she left the States to go there...curious.
ReplyDeleteShe got a job
DeleteThis sounds really fun, I want to know what all the guides tell her to do! Reminds me a bit of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days:)
ReplyDeleteJust better ;)
DeleteIt sounds like a very fun read. But if it were me I would just throw those dating books out and play it by ear. Thanks for having the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteayancey1974(at)gmail(dot)com
Yes, a much better idea
DeleteLove the sound of this and yeah I need more chick-lit!
ReplyDeleteyes!
DeleteSounds so good, but alas, I'm not in the US... One word: UNFAIR :( Great review though!
ReplyDeleteWell, I could not enter either ;)
DeleteThose poor guys! They've got to think she's nuts.
ReplyDeleteI would sure think it
DeleteCan I say that the cover makes me think too much of vorarephilia? It makes me feel kinda creeped out. I feel bad, because it sounds like such a fun book.
ReplyDeleteLOL, well I could see that
