The Dating Detox by Gemma Burgess

****4 stars
I always check reviews and usually choose a book by a new author based on those. As I began reading this book, I couldn't fathom the high ratings, then a quarter into it I realized I was hooked. I really enjoyed it and found it highly entertaining. The dating experiences alone are worth reading (lol). I see now why it got such rave reviews and am putting it into my keep pile. I can see myself rereading this!

Book Jacket Summary:
If you can't date anyone nice, don't date anyone at all...Dating is a dangerous sport. So after her sixth successive failed relationship, romantically-challenged 20-something Sass decides she's had enough. The Dating Detox is born. No men, no break-ups, no problem. The result? Her life -- usually joyfully/traumatically occupied with dates, clothes and vodka -- is finally easy. Chastity rocks. No wonder nuns are always singing. Everything falls at her feet. Especially men. Will Sass break the rules? Why does fate keep throwing her in the path of the irritatingly amusing -- and gorgeous -- Jake? Will she ever roll the dice and play again? Or is a love-free life too good to risk losing? For the post-Carrie Bradshaw, post-Bridget Jones, post-credit crunch generation of singles, life isn't beautiful, a bitch, or a beach. It's a party.
