My Review

I thought this book was alright. It features Valerie. She is newly divorced and ready to date again to find "Mr. Right".  First though, Valerie will have to date and kiss a bunch of frogs.

Let me tell you, when I say "frogs" I do mean it. There are the typical guys who are just looking for your one night stands, the guys who are not really into commitment. Oh, there is the guy who is a straggler.

This book goes on to feature many other types of mean and the dates that Valerie endured with these men. Some of the stories were funny and others pure a disaster. I did question Valerie's actions towards some of the situations. Let the fact that she did not have to sleep with the men when she saw the warning signs. However, she did find her "happy ending" in the end.

Book Excerpt:

The film ended, we left the cinema. The atmosphere was still so strained that I allowed myself to take a cigarette (something I have never done upon a date).

Chris asked, "Can I have a cigarette? I need to relax now, I am still fuming."

I replied a bit reassured, "Indeed."

I gave him one, and we both lit up.

A few seconds later, a guy came and asked for a cigarette. He sounded French and really friendly, but I did not even have the time to respond and chat with him. Chris took him by the neck and shouted, spitting in his face, his eyes full of anger, "Do you think that this lady has an off-licence shop?"

I couldn’t believe it! Not again! “Leave him alone, please Chris! You’re scaring me. Why do you act like that?”

"This son of a bitch doesn't respect ladies," screamed Chris, his eyes infused with raging nerves, and he kicked the poor French guy, who collapsed head-first on the floor – all for a cigarette. I was horrified and frozen. A few tourists passed by, horrified by the ordeal. The French guy ran away, surely beating Usain Bolt’s athletic world record.

 

Utterly mortified, I burst, “I'm leaving! You’re nuts! I can’t take it anymore!" I started running towards the road to get a taxi.

 

“Valérie, Valérie! I am so sorry! Please wait! I like you.” He caught my arm and kissed me awkwardly. The kiss wasn't re
