"30 dates, 30 wild ideas, total media frenzy… but only one Mr. Right.
Erin Crawford is a relationship blogger with a bucket list and a vendetta. After having horrible luck in her own relationships, she decides to start a blog called "30 First Dates." Her mission: go out with 30 men before her 30th birthday. It's her quest to find a non-jerk in 30 dates or less. As she blogs about her sometimes humorous and sometimes just sad dates, she also begins to cross off her bucket list of 30 things she wants to do before she turns 30—killing two birds with one stone by complaining the items on her dates! In fourteen months she skydives, skinnydips, crashes a wedding, travels to multiple cities and lives way outside her usual comfort zone. The only question is, as her birthday approaches and her list rows smaller, will Erin be able to find love? Or is she destined to be a first-date-only kind of girl?"
My Review:
Let me start off by saying it's so refreshing to find a book that takes place in Dallas. I can only think of one other book that took place here, and it's so exciting to read about my city. I've been to the bars they mentioned in Uptown, I have family in Frisco and it was fun to actually see the story take place and be able to put a real location to the book.
Anyway. How cool is is it when a blogger makes it big? At first I thought this was going to be similar to The Bucket List to Mend a Broken Heart by Anna Bell since both involve bucket list type plots, but this was still a refreshing and different story.
Erin's dates were hilarious and had me cracking up. Her blog entries were cute to read, too. Sometimes the things that happened to her were a LITTLE unrealistic - like...a blogger to immediately make it on national television with instant fame and success? Maybe not real life, but that's why we read fiction, right?
