Meeting Mr. Wrong: The Romantic Misadventures of a Southern Belle [Paperback]

Stephanie Snowe (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 3, 2009

'Don't email me if you want a supermodel. I'm twenty-two, divorced, and I have twins. I'm also overweight, unattractive, and have no education to speak of. I'm pretty much not going to bring anything to the table except the fact that I'm pretty nice and won't ask you to pay my bills. Here's my email address. Don't email if you're full of it.'

With this ad, Stephanie Snowe relaunches herself into the world of dating. In this real-life account, she discovers that the search for Mr. Right can include a lot of wrong turns. With light-hearted sass, Stephanie introduces us to each Tom, Dick, and Denny, and their neuroses, pets, mullets, lies, and puking.

A girl can get discouraged having to deal with dive-bombing birds, first-date proposals, and eavesdropping mothers. Is there a knight in shining armor out there with a higher IQ than his horse? Stephanie hopes so.

Left high and dry, pregnant with twins, just off the altar, Snowe plunges head-first into the internet dating world, despite being told that if she did so an axe murderer would hunt her down and kill her. After weeks of wading through emails from men who clearly were not paying attention to, you know, anything, Snowe ventures onto her first date with Denny and, apparently, all of his coworkers. Thus start the Romantic Misadventures of Ms. Snowe. You'll have to read the book to find out whether Snowe ever finds love in the internet dating world, how fun a date during a hurricane is, and exactly what is so distracting about Big Pimpin' Willie's tattoo.

Very special books do not cross my desk very often, but I am delighted to have read Meeting Mr. Wrong: The Romantic Misadventures of a Southern Belle. Snowe writes with such conversational wit that you could imagine laughing with disbelief as she told you her tales over coffee (or a good stiff drink!) I enjoyed Meeting Mr. Wrong so much I finished it the evening it arrived on my doorstep. I very much look forward to her next installment.

Some people are natural-born storytellers, and that's a skill that cannot be taught, bought, or faked. Stephanie Snowe is a natural storyteller. We cringe with her, laugh with her, and root for her throughout her book, and through it all we maintain hope that Prince Charming is waiting in the final pages. Stephanie is able to take a time in her life that must have been very difficult, and use the power of her talent to turn it into an entertaining, heartfelt read. She knows how to select just the right details to make us "see" her characters. She understands how to pace her stories so that you want to stay up to read "just one more chapter" - again and again, until the wee hours of the morning. I read Meeting Mr. Wrong several times, and laughed every time. As a matter of fact, I sometimes randomly think of one her stories when I'm sitting around at work or walking somewhere alone, and start laughing to myself. So I have Stephanie to thank for strangers and my coworkers suspecting that I am insane! I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm a man. Why am I reading this book?!, April 3, 2009

I'm a man in my 30's. Married with 2 small kids. I don't have time to read and you know I'm not going to read chick lit.

Until my wife left her copy in the bathroom and, in usual man activity, I spent a good amount of time in there with nothing to do but read. I admit it...I got hooked.

The author reminded me of my wife which made this book extra enjoyable for even me. Envisioning this woman or my wife going through these scenarios made me laugh out loud. My wife got tired of listening to me read bits out loud as she's already read it. Twice. I couldn't help. Big Pimpin' Willie? Pure Gold.

A fun read for anyone male or female. Though I don't know if I'm about to suggest it to my buddies I suggest you leave it in the bathroom. Your husband will enjoy it just as much as you did.

And if there's a 2nd book? I won't even wait for my wife to leave it in the bathroom. I'll just snag it in there myself!
