Description

Everything these days is online – including how a woman is meant to meet Mr Right. But, Sonia wonders, as she joins up to the dating app, how can someone decide simply by looking at somebody’s face that they’re the right person for her? And as she swipes with little to no matches, her self-esteem crumbles, her confidence affected as she wonders “What’s wrong with me?”

Past history meets present as she continues on the carousel, emotions building up and tearing down, being used and discarded like an old sweet wrapper and the crushing knowledge that she’s in her late 30s and her clock is ticking. She needs to meet Mr Right right now. She turns to alcohol to mask the fear that she will never find him but refuses to recognise that her crutch is crippling her – until it’s too late. As the overall pressure of society, her addiction and her own fears weighs her down, will Sonia overcome everything that is expected of her or will she succumb to her choices and live a life half-lived?

Everything these days is online – including how a woman is meant to meet Mr Right. But, Sonia wonders, as she joins up to the dating app, how can someone decide simply by looking at somebody’s face...

i was given this book by netgalley and publishers for an honest opinion.
i am not sure how i felt about this book. it took a while for me to get into reading it. it portrays a woman that is looking for love online dating to search for Mr. Right. She also turns to alcohol to deal with the pressure.
i felt like the book was depressing but very eye opening. it is one of those that i will keep in my mind for a while.

This book depicts the sad truth about online dating, addiction and social pressure. The story is heartfelt and was not a light read! Michaela Francis captures honest feelings about a single middle aged woman who in search of Mr.Right, turns to alcohol for comfort. It was depressing in some areas, but overall a good woman’s fiction.
Thank you NetGalley, author and publisher for reader’s copy of this book. The review is my own opinion and was not influenced in any way!

This is a book that will stay with me for a while. I found it so interesting and how the author portrayed alcoholism. I think this book is an ideal bookclub pick as there is many layers and topics to discuss. Highly recommend!

Good story that took very little time to read. Probability because you get into the storyline and you don’t stop reading. I liked the development of the story and where it took you.
