Amanda Aksel

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could secretly put others through a test to determine their dependability before engaging in a relationship with them? Although a bit impractical, that’s exactly what happens in this fabulous book!

If you know me or my reading habits, you probably know that my guilty pleasure is totally chick-lit. I don’t think these should be limited to the beach – I read them year-round! So when Amanda Aksel, author of The Man Test, contacted me about reading her book I jumped on the opportunity.

And boy was I not disappointed!

The Man Test is about a woman named Marin who, after catching her fiancé cheating on her, sets out to prove that all men are just lying, cheating pigs. And on top of that, she’s a relationship therapist herself, a supposed “professional” suddenly finding herself more in the role of patient than doctor. Whether it’s setting setting up potential suitors with every opportunity they need to cheat and prove her hunch right, or making men “pay” for their unfaithfulness, she makes sure that she is the one who has the last laugh. But between ruined relationships and questioning her own motives, Marin learns that it’s not always as cut-and-dry as you might wish.

If you’ve ever been in a serious relationship or been broken-hearted yourself, or even if you just enjoy a good laugh and fun read, this is a book that I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you check out for yourself! The characters will have you saying, “Oh my God, I know someone JUST like that!” and cracking up like a crazy person. Totally Worth it.

This book was a trip! The entire time I just wanted to smack Marin then give her a hug. She was so fuel by hurt. She set to prove that all men were cheaters. She based this all on a book she found while in a post break up depression then she began to treat this book like the gospel. Instead of proving her point she ended up proving herself foolish. Being right doesn't always feel like victory. Tough lesson, great read!… (altro)
