Reviewer: Annie

chat loveI received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Summary:

City girl Lucia is having trouble finding a man. With a few nudges from her friends, she decides to try out Chat Love, an online dating service for New Yorkers. Hilarity ensues with one disastrous date after another…where do these men come from? Mars? Certainly not Manhattan! She finally meets someone from work who is almost perfect, but decides to move on as he’s still seeing other women. She keeps in contact with a man named Jack on the Chat Love site. Could he be the one? What about her love interest at work? Just like the lovable cast of characters from Sex and the City, Lucia is Carrie, a stylish woman who has found her “Mr. Big” but can’t seem to get him to commit. Danni is Samantha, who loves to have fun and is wild and promiscuous. Autumn is Charlotte, desperate to meet the right man and settle down. Skyler is Miranda, level-headed and quick to offer advice. Will these ladies ever find love? Will Lucia find her man? Chat Love will give you something to talk about!

Review:

If you enjoyed “Sex and the City”, this book is for you.  It is a quick read, so I recommend it for quick “getaways”, either via a trip or a staycation on your couch.  For me, I prefer books with more fabric in the tale.  But, that is not for everyone.  I have many friends that this book would be the perfect for.

So, you decide…this may be the perfect book to add to your list.

Justine Faeth writes about Lucia Fabbo and her interesting (to say the least) dating life.  She is 27 years old, living in Manhattan and is having trouble finding Love, at least with Mr. Right.  Her quest to find love, leads her to a popular Manhattan online dating service, called “Chat Love”.  It was very reminiscent of the times I went this route.  I failed, does Lucia?  Or, was the love of her life right in front of her; as mine was.

She has a group of supportive friends, much like our beloved Carrie Bradshaw in “Sex and the City”.  The story opens with her going on a blind-date with a man named Richard….Set up by her friend, Danni.  I heard one to many times, “Sick of dating men I meet in bars and clubs”.  But, is that where we all truly begin!!  I believe so.  It seems like the logical place when we are in our early twenties, but as we continue to mature, we look for other avenues, like Chat Love.
