This is a happy book! It made me all giddy and giggly while reading about Melanie's encounters with men and falling in love then falling apart. Good thing, her best- friend Patti is at her beck and call. Whenever she needs her help, she's there, complete with Boyfriend Bylaws. It was hilarious when Mel had to call her to ask permission to date or give a man her phone number. Ha-Ha..

I think I'll recommend this short romance story for an overnight reading, just so you could sleep well with a smile on your face. Although there's not much depth with the characters and the story itself, I found myself dreaming of my teenage years when all I had to do was pick the good-looking boy to be my prom date.. Ha-ha-ha.




Bonus Story: My Last Blind Date

It’s Valentine’s Day and Rachel Price has a choice: Stay home and watch TV with her loveable doggy or let her best friend, Ellen, set her up on a blind date. What to do….

Ellen says the guy is a “10,” but the last guy she set her up with was a “–5.” Rachel’s been flirting with coworker Noah Peterson and she’s hoping he’s noticed. Then, she finds out Noah has big plans. Even worse, he advises Rachel to go on the blind date!

Should she play it safe and spend the Hallmark holiday with her loyal pooch, Chester, or risk another dating disaster by trying yet again for love?
