Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Another great tale of love gone wild from author Michelle Cunnah, a favourite voice of Avon Trade fans whose loveable characters are creating a stir. A good relationship is like a pair of comfortable shoes, right? At first, they may pinch and squeeze, but with time (and blisters) they mould to your feet for a perfect fit.

Rosie Mayford isn't sure she believes this theory--after all, she takes a size eleven wide, so she has first-hand experience of the trials and tribulations of finding exactly the right shoes. She's praying finding the right man won't be nearly that hard. With the "help" of her meddling family and friends, it's not, even if she partly found a Mr. Right just to get them off her back.

But now what? Rosie and Jonathan couldn't be in more different places in their lives, and they are about to find out just how exhilarating--and disastrous--a mismatched love affair can be. Will they get to the part where they're broken in and life is nothing but great sex and comforting hugs, or will one of them get sent off in scorn like a pair of too-small stilettos that felt okay in the store? What do you do when Mr. Right gets the timing wrong?

4.0 out of 5 stars I liked it, October 9, 2005

By	Bearette24 (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

A lot of people are saying they didn't like this book as much as Michelle Cunnah's previous winners, 32AA and Call Waiting. I have to disagree. I think if you liked her other books, you'll like this one.

It's true that this book lacks a fun conceit like small-breastedness. Here, the heroine has wide feet and difficulty finding stylish shoes that fit, which is somehow just not as catchy. But the plot and characters make up for this. Rosie, our heroine, is much more capable than the heroine of 32AA and Call Waiting. Rosie is the successful co-owner of a business, Odd Jobs, and she also takes good care of her mother.

The only area where Rosie is not thriving is her love life. However, instead of being incurably single like many chick lit heroines, she has an overabundance of men in her life. At one point in the story, she finds herself at a table where she has slept with every man but one!

The central man in the story is Luke, or Dr. Love, an obstetrician who catches Rosie's eye at a dull work do. After a romantic night together, Rosie finds out that Dr. Love is married, and she tries to avoid him, though she runs into him and his wife everywhere. Then Rosie's competitive cousin, Elaine, starts to pursue Dr. Love.

Elaine is a masterpiece. She's one of those people who orchestrates situations so that everyone else will feel maximum embarrassment and humiliation. We all know someone like this and Michelle Cunnah brings Elaine to life.

It's somewhat predictable whom Rosie will end up with, but there are so many entertaining twists and turns along the way that I didn't really mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Confession:I liked this novel, October 17, 2006

By	Danielle (Illinois) - See all my reviews

I have read Michelle Cunnah's previous two novels and it took awhile for me to buy her third novel "Confessions of a serial dater" but I am glad that I did. I agree with a previous reviewer in that the title of the novel is a bit misleading. When I started the book, I was expecting a superficial woman that just goes from man to man but Rosie, the main character, wasn't like that at all. Rosie goes to a Christmas dinner with her boyfriend, Jonathan, which is where she meets her Dr. Love. The only other male character that Rosie had a relationship with was a man named Harry, who appears later in the novel. The book also features a jealous cousin, an over-bearing mother, a wacky grandmother and her gnomes, two best girl-friends, a cousin who is a vicar(Priest), and the obligatory gay male best friend. Overall, I did enjoy reading "Confessions of a serial dater" and I read in in two days, which makes it a quick, light read. I don't have many complaints about this novel. Maybe a couple conversations with Rosie's mom could have been cut down or cut out. But if you've read Michelle Cunnah's previous novels and you're a chick-lit fan and even if you're not-you will probably enjoy this novel.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the paper it was printed on..., January 17, 2007

By	K. Klinkert (NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was really looking forward to reading this book. I tried to give it a fair shot. I tried to force myself to be interested. I really, really tried. This book wound up being the biggest piece of crap I've ever purchased.

The opening scene was long, drawn-out, and just plain dull. The main character is the type of woman I despise. She's shallow, self-centered, insecure and dishonest. The ending is predictable but comforting, kind of like knowing you have just one last pull of the Band-Aid and the pain will cease.

I'd only recommend this vile tome if you seek birdcage fodder.
