In diving into "28 Disastrous Dates: A (Mostly True) Humourous Memoir" by Poppy Mortimer, I embarked on a journey through two decades of unpredictable dating stories. Mortimer, a fantastic storyteller, shares tales ranging from funny to cringe-worthy with skill.

The book unfolds like a well-organized collection of short stories. Each chapter introduces Mortimer's age, where she was, and how each date came about. Whether meeting online or by chance, the stories keep a sense of surprise.

What makes this book special is Mortimer's talent for making even the worst situations funny. With each page, her clever storytelling had me laughing. Even when things got explicit, she kept it respectful.

Beyond the laughs, Mortimer reflects on each date, adding a thoughtful touch. Her personal growth and support for women's rights give the book more depth.

It's not just a funny book; it's like looking in a mirror at dating ups and downs. Mortimer's relatability shines as she shares her quest for love.

Mortimer's writing is smooth, creating an enjoyable read. Her background in creative writing is clear, with well-developed characters in each story. The mix of explicit details and authenticity adds to the richness of the stories.

Rating "28 Disastrous Dates" is an easy 5 out of 5 stars. Honestly, there's nothing to dislike. It's well-edited without errors, showing Mortimer's dedication.

To sum up, "28 Disastrous Dates" isn't just a funny book; it mixes humor with life lessons. Mortimer's positivity makes it a great recommendation. I suggest it for anyone wanting a good laugh, relatable dating stories, and a bit of wisdom. Whether you've had your share of bad dates or just enjoy entertaining reads, Mortimer's book is a must.

And for recommendations, I'd say give "28 Disastrous Dates" a go if you're 18 or older. It's a funny peek into the dating world, perfect for anyone who's faced awkward encounters or enjoys funny memoirs.
