Simon Templar (yes, as in the Saint as in the TV series) is happily engaged to Meredith when a shocking revelation spins his life out of control, and he ends up on his best mate's couch re-discovering life as a single and experiencing the downfalls of the current dating scene.
This was a quick, fun read. As a female, I found it quite interesting as it was written from a male perspective, kind of a chic-lit book for males. It was pretty amusing and certainly kept me engaged throughout, but the one thing that stopped me from rating it higher was the emphasis on references to films and music, which became a little over the top. The ending was also far too neat for my liking. But for a couple of hours of light entertainment, it was a pretty good read. The author certainly managed to draw quite a tender portrait of human relationships and friendships, which were all believable. The focus on text messaging as a major communication tool for sorting out relationship and life issues in general, was hilarious and sadly, felt very authentic, too.
Thanks to the author and publisher for my copy via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. 3.5 stars rounded up to 4.… (altro)
