[Following is a volunteer review of "28 Disastrous Dates: A (Mostly True) Humourous Memoir" by Poppy Mortimer.]
In "28 Disastrous Dates" by Poppy Mortimer, readers are taken on a hilariously cringe-worthy journey through the messy world of Australian dating. Mortimer's brutally honest and side-splitting wit drips off the pages as she recounts her encounters with a cast of weirdos, liars, and downright bizarre individuals. From a vegan attempting to convert her over tofu balls to a conspiracy theorist convinced the moon is made of cheese, each chapter is a masterpiece in comic gold.
However, Mortimer's genius goes beyond the laughs. Beneath the surface of disastrous dates lies a touching story of self-realization. With each bad date, Mortimer learns valuable lessons in resilience, leading her on a path to discovering what she truly deserves. Through her experiences, readers witness her grappling with past baggage, navigating self-doubt, and learning to say 'no' to what doesn't serve her. Despite moments of cringe-inducing awkwardness, Mortimer's narrative is empowering, serving as a reminder of the absurdity of human behavior and the importance of self-acceptance.
"28 Disastrous Dates" is not just a rom-com for disillusioned lovers; it's a humorous ode to self-acceptance and the liberating power of laughter. While it may leave readers wary of men in socks and sandals, it also offers a refreshing perspective on the complexities of modern dating. With its witty storytelling and heartwarming moments, this book is a must-read for anyone who has ventured into the world of online dating.
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
"28 Disastrous Dates" earns a perfect rating for its impeccable blend of humor, relatability, and poignant insights. Mortimer's candid storytelling and sharp wit make for a thoroughly enjoyable read, while her journey towards self-discovery resonates with readers on a deeper level. This book is not only entertaining but also uplifting, leaving readers with a newfound appreciation for the hilarity and unpredictability of the dating scene. The book is exceptionally edited. There is nothing that I found wrong with this book.
Thank You!
