My Thoughts:
Blind Dates, Big Love & Six Tinder Weeks is a change from my usual type of read. I absolutely loved this funny quirky romance that had me giggling throughout.
This book tells the story of Helen, in her forties and newly single, looking to transform herself and her life. The book follows a time line of six weeks, and what Helen gets up to during that time and the men she meets.
There is a lot to like about this book but predominately for me was the host of entertaining and unique characters. The storyline is enjoyable and realistic and could be about any of us.
I found it refreshing that the story centred on someone in their forties dating, it goes to prove that not all on line dating is done by young people.
The story flows well and was engaging enough to keep me entertained throughout. It was so funny I had finished reading it before I knew it.
A refreshing look at the dating scene and all of its consequences, all packaged up in a hugely comical and uplifting read.
I really enjoyed this one.
