Product Description

I feel like a failure. It's now been 351 days since I had sex. That's a carnal drought. If Bob Geldof knew about it he'd hold a concert.

Sarah Sargeant has been single for three years and nine months. She has just spent five months plucking up the courage to ask out a balding man with a paunch who works in her local pub. The gentleman in question informed her that he would rather stay in and watch the Narnia movie on DVD. Her pride has not just been bruised, it's been disembowelled. And she vows it's the last time she will ever reach out to a member of the opposite sex.

But her family and friends have other ideas. They enter her into a reality TV show against her will, persuade her to go speed dating and even more radically, they encourage her to start a blog. Suddenly Sarah Sargeant is on a mission.

A mission to explore 50 Ways To Find A Lover.

Customer Reviews

Excellent romantic comedy
I absolutely loved this book and urge you to read it. The heroine, Sarah Sargeant, is someone you feel you'd love to be friends with: she's smart, incredibly funny, down to earth and refreshingly real. I related to her very much, which I can't remember thinking about a character in this area of fiction for such a long time. It succeeds because the dialogue is sharp, it's tightly plotted and intelligently observed - and the characters are extremely likeable. Sarah's parents were wonderful.

Plus there's an intelligence to this that you don't tend to find in popular fiction; I enjoyed every minute I spent in Sarah's company. Funnily enough I've seen boys reading this on the tube: are they looking for tips?

50 ways to put a smile on your face
50 Ways to Find a Lover is a wonderful book. I laughed a lot, cried a little and thoroughly enjoyed it. Lucy-Anne Holmes is so talented at writing observational humour - watch out if you're reading it on the bus because you can't help but laugh out loud! This book is a must-read, a real page-turner - I'm already telling all my friends to buy it.

50 Ways to find a lover.....
Was looking for a holiday read and this book ticked all the boxes. Witty, funny and sensitive. Every time I put the book down it kept calling me.
