My Review
This is a fun, witty read. If you have tried online dating than you can relate to the perils of trying to find the "perfect" someone in your life. There was a phase early on in my life where I did not do the online dating but I was into the online chat rooms. Kind of the same concept. There was a lot of creepers you had to watch out for. Although, I have to say times are worse now than back then.
Sophia's online dating profile did put a smile on my face. The responses she got from it along with the online profile names were funny. Although, not so much a fan of R-Paz but Daniel Craig is a nice choice. Yet, I did wish that Sophia had smarted up and listened to her instinct and friends more when it came to Daniel. He did seem a little too "perfect". Also, I thought that Sophia came off mean when she did not react more towards her flatmate, Kate's great news. The ending I did not see coming. This is a wonderful first novel from author, Zoe Efstathiou. I look forward to seeing her other work in the future.
