I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Chad Jordan is a thirtysomething guy who finds himself having to start over in the world of dating. Born and bred in Chicago, and raised in Catholic school, he now works as a senior financial consultant for a financial advertising firm. Established, smart and dedicated to relationships and the hope of living happily ever after, Chad is just an all around nice guy. He’s been in a relationship with Stephanie, his now ex, for the past four years. Before that, he was in an 18 month relationship, so he’s used to being committed. He’s always been able to avoid the minefield of dating, but after his break-up with Stephanie, he finds himself surrounded by buddies who are eager to help him get back into the dating scene. Filled with funny moments and friends who aren’t afraid to tell him to suck it up and move on with his life, this is the story of an all-American good guy who finds that life as a single man is very different than the last 5-6 years when he’s not been single and alone.
I enjoyed reading a chick lit novel where the story is through the eyes of a man – an interesting twist on chick lit. There are still some good guys out there – and just like women need to cradle a broken heart, so do men. I enjoyed the idea of reading a guy’s perspective; it kinda left me wishing there were more books like this.
