Review of 28 Disastrous Dates: A (Mostly True) Humourous Memoir
[Following is a volunteer review of "28 Disastrous Dates: A (Mostly True) Humourous Memoir" by Poppy Mortimer.]
Poppy Mortimer's journey to find true love in the exotic land of Australia is a delightful romp through the highs and lows of dating. With her upbeat personality and never-say-die spirit, Poppy sets out on a quest to find her soulmate through 28 dates that are anything but ordinary. 28 Disastrous Dates: A (Mostly True) Humourous Memoir is the book that reverently records all her escapades from dates and vows to herself.
The book's premise is simple yet engaging - Poppy is determined to find the perfect man, and she's willing to go on 28 dates to find him. Each date is more outrageous than the last, from a Mr Tikka Masala to Mr Catfish giving her readers a hilarious ride. But even when things go awry, Poppy's indomitable spirit and determination to find true love keep her going.
The writing is witty, engaging, and full of heart. Poppy's voice is authentic and relatable, making it easy for readers to connect with her and her experiences. The book is a great read for any independent woman who is on the search for her other half, or for anyone looking for a good laugh and a reminder that true love is worth the journey. It engages into her past and her cycle of life as it keeps on progressing. Even though I would have loved for her to have a happy ending and find Mr The One, she doesn’t ultimately. And I feel that factor has hooked me more to this book.
The book is much more than just a humorous take on the world of dating. Her journey is a powerful reminder that it’s not always about finding ‘The One', maybe it's only about finding yourself. And that not finding that person isn’t going to ruin your life. Your life can be just as beautiful without a Mr Curry or a Mr Muscles beside you. Poppy's story reflects the experiences of so many women today, especially the challenges of online dating and pitfalls of blind dates.
Overall, it is a fun and enjoyable read that will leave you with a smile on your face and a renewed appreciation for the highs and lows of dating. One definitely needs to read her experiences to know they aren’t alone and that people do suffer from bad dates. I love how this book almost becomes a guide for women on what to avoid and for men on what not to do. It is written in a very simple writing style and is exceptionally well-edited without any errors in spellings or grammar. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars and I surely would want to read more books like this.
