My Crazy Blind Date Blog by Ann Stang

3.25

Read via Kindle. 

I needed a light and funny book after a DNF. This was definitely comical and made me smile and laugh numerous times. Kudos for that. 

I’ve never been on a blind date. Frankly, I’m particularly thankful for that fact in this moment, even though I know that one person couldn’t have THAT many horrible blind dates. Ummmm…. Right??!!! Thankfully I’ve been married nearly three decades so I won’t have to experience it. 

Though it was pretty clear where the book l was headed - or should I say to WHOM - there was not a lot of substance to the book. After a few dates, it just felt a bit like Groundhog Day. You wanted to just lock the two in a room and leave them to figure it out. However, I wanted light and funny. 

I found the MC to sometimes be rude, argumentative, and condescending several times in her blog. She also said she wanted to be with a Christian many times. Yet faith wasn’t really an issue or a discussion on her dates. While I realize it was mainly a bunch of first dates, with a few repeats, it didn’t seem to be a concern. Also, her talking about her work stuff (the balancing issue) was really stomping on the line of professionalism and confidentiality. Fake names and such are one thing but it’s still a public blog. 

Overall it was a fun book and it filled a need at the time. Sometimes light and funny are what a person requires.
