Review

I just finished Kissing Frogs in Cyberspace. It was fantastically funny,disarmingly honest and so relevant to today's dating world. It was a fresh take on singles trying to find Mr. Perfect in a sea of frogs. I will definitely be recommending it to my friends. A perfect stocking stuffer for my single friends and married friends. --Marina Chappie

The side of online dating they don't show you in the T.V. commercials...priceless! --Faye Krueger

This review is from: Kissing Frogs in Cyberspace (Paperback)

This is a honest, funny, witty, and charmingly written book!! It's one that you will not want to put down! In addition to the authors commentary and perspective of things, it includes the emails and instant messages that were sent back and forth from the author and her potential "princes". I found myself laughing out loud for much of the book. Don't miss out on this one!!

This book was recommended to me by a friend who insisted that I read it. Oh my god! This is not a book to read on the bus unless you want to look like a crazy person!! I was laughing so hard out loud that the entire bus was staring! Not only is it a riot, but it is definitely easy for a man to relate to. I have already told my cube-mates at work to read it. Nice work Sweeney!
