A review by staceyfe907
The Single Girl's To-Do List by Lindsey Kelk

5.0

I loved this book! I bought this knowing nothing about the book or the author - best thing I ever did! Rachel is a modern version of Bridget Jones; just a little less tragic/more determined not to become a pathetic spinster. It was so easy to relate to her (without leaving my fiancé) although I do now have an overbearing desire to ditch my wardrobe in favour of pretty dresses, dye my hair red and resurrect my to-do list notebook!

The book is well written and funny throughout. The characters are loveable (well, except Simon and Ana); I even had a soft spot for Dan before he poured his heart out.

Favourite quotes:
"And what a difference seven days could make. It was like I was living in not quite a Craig David song, although I sincerely hoped I'd be chilling by Sunday. Except without actually saying chilling, because I could never get away with saying that. What with me being 28, middle class and white."

"The make-up artist the magazine had originally booked had quit when she'd heard Dan had pulled out, and Dan had only pulled out because he thought I was going. There wasn't a single verse in Alanis Morissette's entire songbook to deal with the irony of the situation."
