40% dating, 60% the challenges of an entrepreneur.
The dating chapters are interesting and relatable, though they feel sparse in comparison to the larger journey Rebekah documents.
For the entrepreneurs out there, her journey is so interesting and the little markets throughout where she crosses paths with other businesses who are household/workplace names are beautiful.
I like Rebekah's pragmatic approach to dating, and how reflective she is of her growth. She's someone I would love to grab a drink and chat dating, and life stories over. Her drive, vulnerability, self awareness and the sense of you get of her is inspiring and heartwarming. You root for her at ever hurdle/challenge.
I did find parts of the narrative frustrating, some of Rebecca's self talk, and the self silencing etc that many women find themselves doing in life and dating. The epilogue really helped offset this, again, Rebekahs growth is palpable.
If you are looking for something with a primary dating focus I would recommend picking up The Year of Being Single, or The Wrong Knickers.

138 Dates by Rebekah Campbell
_____
I was lucky enough to receive a copy of this newly released book - 138 dates by Rebekah Campbell.
A real life story of an entrepreneur business woman looking for love. The book entwines both her search for love with her experiences in business - both worlds existing parallel to one another. It’s at age 35, after spending her life focusing on her career that Rebekah decides she wants to find a husband and start a family. She endeavours to go on 52 dates a year, until she finds the one, but in reality she is really finding and falling in love with herself.
Not only is this a great insight to Rebekah’s life. It would also make as a good self help style book to those who find themselves in a similar situation to Rebekah’s - succeeding professionally without quite having reached all their personal goals.
It was a privilege to have been given a copy of this book to review, I did enjoy it - although didn’t connect well with the story as I am in a very different stage in my life - I can see others loving this book!

At 34 and a half, Rebekah hadn’t been on a date in ten years after her first boyfriend was tragically killed in a car accident. Then on Christmas morning, she woke on a fold-out bed in the garage of her parent’s friend’s house and decided to change. She would find love, whatever it took. And she set herself a goal: one date every week for an entire year.
What followed was 138 Dates (yes 138 different men) across Sydney, New York and San Francisco.
This is a story of the ups and downs of dating. The turmoil of putting yourself out there and the chaos that follows.
It was an interesting read and had some funny (and some what relatable) tales of trying to fall in love. However, I wouldn’t say it was my favourite book ever. At times it felt like a bit of a walking advertisement for her business, mixed in with some stories.
An interesting book if you want to hear the ups and downs of dating from a different perspective though.

I found Rebekah Campbell's quest to find love in her thirties very empowering. Listening to the blend of awkward online dating sites, strange encounters, lots of interesting and uninteresting men was fascinating. Combine this with her start up business launching in silicon valley and quickly becoming out of her reach was such a dynamic I had never imagined to read.
Although I am unable to relate to 99% of Rebekah's life, I still enjoyed the ways that she intricately blended the the two major themes in her life and I found myself popping in and out of this book with each chapter. I was not drawn to read, but found it easy to read a chapter or two, have a giggle, pop it down and come back to it when I had a spare 30 minutes or so (whilst in the middle of a 600km relocation).
Thank you to Rebekah Campbell for providing me a gifted copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
