Meet Holly, the sunny twenty-nine-year-old owner of Girl Meets Boy, a dating service for those who are "beautiful inside and out." Though she's a successfulmatchmaker, she hasn't quite fulfilled her own relationship dreams (her ex-fianc#65533;, Nick, seems unlikely to progress from his job as Mr. Elephant, children's party entertainer). So when her friends dare her to pick a man off the top of the pile, she's game. But in one awful evening, the seemingly perfect Stuart turns out to be a completecad, and Holly's belief in the goodness of humanity takes a hit. What does it mean for her business and her romantic future if she can no longer trust her ability to read people? Holly's friends and colleagues are drawn into the complicated drama of her life, while Holly learns her most important lesson: to trust herself. Rueful and hilarious, Behaving Like Adults is a must-read novel of men and women growing up -- in spite of themselves.… (altro)

I did not like this book. As far as I can tell none of the characters acted like adults. ( )

Looks like chick lit, written like chick lit, NOT chick lit. It's about a girl who gets raped and then tries to regain control of her life. ( )

Interesting book! Maxted's heroine Holly rings true as she tries to hold herself together after a date rape. And while her reactions and her struggle to cope with this, on top of a broken engagement to a man she loves, is painful -- it's written with a loving humor. And somehow, as important as that story line is, it's secondary to the Holly and Nick theme.

I'm not being very articulate -- but Maxted dealt with a horrifying subject in a truthful yet hopeful way, eventually getting it into context in Holly's life.

I recommend it. ( )

I wasn't sure if I would like this. I decided to give it another chance. Not too long in the book I was laughing out loud and that does not happen to me that much so I decided to keep reading. Then something i totally did not expect happened. The rape. You don't expect it in a chick lit book.
Anyways then when reading a bit more I thought O no, she is going to be nice to her rapist? I do not think I can read anymore, but I did keep on and glad I did.
It took me ages to read, I am not sure why. Maybe because of the small print, maybe the book itself was the cause, but when i was done I felt a bit sad. So that's a good sign.
Going to give this book 8.5.
thanks for sharing Rosie
