If you’ve been staying awake nights wondering why some people blink more than others, why California requires the use of snow tires in winter, why you don’t keep your eyes open when you sneeze, or what eyelashes are for, this morning’s latest addition to our 225+ Free Book Alert listings could be the answer to your prayers….
Lifelong introvert Quinn Malone was sick of spending her evenings at home, doing crossword puzzles and watching Jersey Shore. When the successful, smart, funny 38-year old heroine embarks on a quest to find a man and uses blind dates, speed dating, and internet dating to get things moving, the result is a great read that’s just 99 cents on Kindle…
“…for anyone who is a fan of shows like Sex and the City … — this is a must read!” —Margaret K Trempe
Here’s the set-up:
Quinn overcomes her shyness to suffer through dates that are so bad, they’re funny (see the chapter on hunchbacks). With the help of good friends, she successfully transitions through the seven stages of dating: excitement (I’ve still got it!); infatuation (he makes me feel beautiful); disappointment (he looks nothing like his online photo); anger (why is he online if he’s married?); fatigue (I can’t bear the thought of another date); depression (I’m going to grow old and die alone); and acceptance (dating: it is what it is). Through the triumphs and heartbreaks of dating, and of life in general, Quinn uncovers the resilient, dynamic person she’s always been. The question is, has Mr. Right been waiting in the wings all along?

“This is the kind of book that you can just gobble up in a weekend. It made me laugh, and at some points I was even nodding emphatically, thinking “she hit the nail on the head.” This book isn’t insulting to single women like a lot of these dating tales are- it was intelligent and funny and I thoroughly enjoyed it. At this price, you have to get it.”

“Looking for a fun gift for the holidays? Taking the train? an airplane? Whatever, you, your friends, co-workers (an office grab bag gift) family members, will enjoy this neat novel.”

Julie was introduced to her future husband by an acquaintance who read a draft of The Truth About Dating and was inspired to try some matchmaking.
