What a piece of crap

This is not a book. It's an ad for the author's positive life coaching. She's a naive fool and even the descriptions of the places she visits are trite.

[Sara · Rating 3 out of 5]

From the title, I thought there would be more in-depth stories about the dates themselves, but they are mostly skimmed over other than the guys that she falls for and really likes.
It's more of a memoir about how this experience changed her and her viewpoint when she was trying to get over the loss of her love.

Great read!

It’s written in a way that makes you forget its non-fiction. Couldn’t put it down! Plenty of humor that kept me giggling.
