When mid-forties,
divorced, single-mother-of-three, Kimberly, realizes her own mother has more of
a life than she does, she decides to do something about it. Encouraged by
success stories from people at work, she joins a dating chat room, ICQ, which
starts to rock her world.
All of a sudden
she’s a swinging single, online, with extreme dates, a little dirty talk, and a
sense of her new, sexy self— until that fateful moment when her long-time
chat-room buddy, LonelySingle, wants to meet.
"Are you trying
to find a man on Facelook?" her Mom questions, after years of being told
it is Facebook!
What if he doesn’t
like her?
What if she doesn’t
like him?
These are the
thoughts, inside her head. Until they meet and realise, that they have been
friends offline as well as online!
What happens next?
A light-hearted,
romantic comedy about a single mom finding true love, which was right before
her eyes.
Excerpt
“Auntie Christine said, ‘Just ask all the
girls, and the boys will be jealous, and when they hear that you are having
parties with only girls, and that each girl in your year is your friend, they
will stop bullying you’.”
“Wow,” I said. Are they
that fickle? I thought in my mind.
Nevermind, Kimberley, you worry too much, and at that precise moment, guess who walks
through the door? Tom, with my maid of honour, Julie. I try and smile, thinking, It is for Eric—it is his party. Do not cause a scene.
Christine walks over to me and hands me an
alcoholic punch which she sharply shoves into my hand and says, “Drink it now!”
While she was making it, she saw my frown and
said it is only for special parents, not everyone would get some. As I look around, I wonder how she
distinguished between the special parents and the non-special parents, because
it looks like everyone has had some.
I finish it with one sharp gulp. I start to enjoy the party. The children are enjoying themselves. More importantly, so is Eric. He is really enjoying his party, especially
with one little girl in the corner. I
tear them apart.
I’m not ready to be a grandmother yet, and my
mom is by no means ready to be a great-grandmother. She refers to them, but that does not mean
she wants to join that club.
It seems like Auntie Christine was right
because Eric was never bullied again.
Review
I must say that I
originally approached this book with trepidation as I wasn't sure what to
expect based on the previous reviews I read. I’m not entire sure what the other
reviewers were expecting but I went into this without any expectations. I was
pleasantly surprised and I liked the book. The book focuses on Kimberly who is
a divorced mother of three who is stuck in a rut. Her mother suggests looking
online to find a decent man and that is where the story gets a little
topsy-turvy which I felt had its funny moments.
