I flew through this book. Very easy read, even though it was a bit more “sexcapade story time” than I was hoping it would be. The author has a quirky way of telling the story and I really enjoyed it. It actually made me think a lot about my own relationships and what I value in the one I have now. I’d recommend this book for single and not-so-single women... although I don’t think many men would enjoy this book.
Usually I reserve one star for books I don’t finish. Unfortunately I read all the way to the end of this ridiculous drivel hoping something good would come of it. Basically it’s just a chronicle of the author screwing one dimensional men around the world until she gets married. Nothing interesting or redeeming to see here.
I loved this book. It was witty and entertaining and inspiring.

As a solo female traveller in her late 20’s I found this book so realistic and so entertaining. It felt like I was talking to a friend about my many travel romances abroad. I actually found myself laughing out loud at some parts. It really gave me the urge to hit the road again. There was an excessive use of some very serious words in a very flippant way and it rubbed me the wrong way at times. But overall this was a very fun listen.

I really wanted to love this book but didn't. The positives include the writing being very good, and it is funny at times. However I couldn't get past the self indulgent tone of it. I wonder if there was more personal growth in between each of the stories if it would have seemed less indulgent?? I wanted to cheer on the single woman traveling the world, but instead I found myself rolling my eyes and saying "get over yourself" for the entire second half of the book. This book doesn't celebrate being single at all. It's only a memoir about a 20 year dating life and centers around the men who came and went in her life.
The style did not resonate. This book is bot foe me.
This author is so entitled and culturally illiterate. The way she talks about other races/cultures in this book is so icky. I couldn’t do it.
I constantly worry about getting old too quickly or that life will have to stop at some point. This book has given me a fresh and hopeful set of eye that I feel it can only give to people my age (early 20s). It's reminded me that I have so much life left to live and that I should spend it doing things rather than worrying about running out of time to do said things.
Before reading I saw a lot of negative reviews of people saying it's not very special in their eyes, but I think that's because they're reading it in a more certain and clearer spot in their lives. I'm currently at a turning point of finishing uni, continuing recovery from the end of a long term relationship and setting off into the adult world to work and live, so this book couldn't come to me in a better time of my life.
Any older readers, I would recommend reading this with the eyes of yourself at your cross roads between youth and adulthood. It may make the stories clearer and more meaningful.
