[Following is a volunteer review of "28 Disastrous Dates: A (Mostly True) Humourous Memoir" by Poppy Mortimer.]
Poppy Mortimer's "28 Disastrous Dates: A (Mostly True) Humourous Memoir: And Lessons Learned Along the Way" is a hilarious and captivating novel. Poppy expertly walks us over her 28 dates, describing the accidents and catastrophes she encounters and wrapping off with what she believes she has taken away from each one. Poppy offers her thoughts on gender roles, social norms, and her own "programming" to the reader as she travels.
Poppy Mortimer's life of love is chronicled in this wonderful nonfiction book over two decades. The stories span continents and are progressively more catastrophic, ranging from embarrassing internet interactions to a less-than-Greek God and a feeding trying to ruin beauty. Not to mention the individual who indulges in self-pleasuring at least ten times a day, to the point where his hands are blistered.
All of them, however, teach readers to value humility, self-determination, honesty, and avoiding emotionally dimwitted people and liars. In summary: pick honestly, date locally, and align sexually. Be mindful of oral hygiene, prioritize in-person interactions, follow your instincts, and maintain an energy balance. Always prioritize quality over quantity.
The book is helpful in my opinion since it offers unbiased analyses and lessons discovered along the route. Additionally, the author's candid sharing of her experiences with readers might be of great use to anybody with an interest in dating. Although the book is amusing and written in a way that appeals to optimism and resilience, a few of the stories gave me cause for alarm. The author never gave up hope and carried on living life to the fullest, despite her discouragements.
There is nothing that I disliked about this book. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars because it's a really well-written, captivating, and hilarious book. The people to whom I would mostly suggest this book are ladies who are unmarried or who have gone on a number of dates in search of genuine love.
