I have another Booksparks book review for y'all! Huge thanks to them for sending me another lovely white box filled with pink squiggly paper confetti goodness and a book to perk me up from the dreary winter doldrums I've been drowning in. (Perhaps I shouldn't drink wine before I write blog posts because that was quite a dramatic sentence??)
I found this latest book to be entertaining for a myriad of reasons. The biggest one being that the website Match.com is talked about a LOT in my house, as my husband is of the mind that a certain child of mine should be searching for his wife on there right now. Personally, I have not dated since the early 90's, and that was as a teenager...so I can't even fathom what it would be like to try and find a prospective partner in 2018, as a full grown adult. It seems like it gets harder and harder to meet new people in person, and outside work, it can be a struggle to find people you talk to enough to make a connection with. In comes Internet Dating to bridge that gap!
And in comes Match Made in Manhattan by Amanda Stauffer*, a book all about a woman's quest to find the right man on Match.com.
Alison has had two fairly long and serious relationships, and travels in a circle of close friends who all went to school together. After she breaks up with her boyfriend, she finds herself lonely and looking for a relationship with someone who she hasn't known for years. So she decides to enter the world of Match.com, makes a profile and sets out to find love online. What comes next is a hilarious mix of odd dates with strange men, fun times with her friends, and angst over when is the right time to get intimate with a new man.

As someone who has been married for eons, it was great to spend a little time in the life of a woman on her quest to find "the one". It was a quick read, and a perfect book to spend time with while the weather has been all gray and rainy. It would also be a good beach read...something fun and perky to peruse while drinking a beverage with an umbrella sticking out of it. Humorous and clever chick-lit made to entertain.
So big thanks again to Booksparks for sending Match Made in Manhattan to me! I have been suffering from the winter blues, and this was the right book at the right time.
