This review is from: Chick Flicks Lie: Sugar-free Accounts of a Positive Pessimist (Paperback)
I love this book!! It is a very well written and easy to read account of the trials and tribulations of a single gal trying to find an appropriate partner to love, honor and grow old with. It has always been said that you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince but apparently in this day and age of players and swingers you might even have to move on to kissing turtles. The book is hilarious but follows through with a serious message and some very good advise. It is honest, full of integrity, and should be included along with every high school girl's diploma. Way to go Holly Marie Tong!!!! Thanks for telling it like it is!!!

Finally, a dating book that does not tell you how bad you are at dating! This book not only shows the humorous side of dating it also gives you the reality of it all. Holly absolutely put her heart and soul into this book as with everything that she does! This book is honest straight forward and does not "sugar coat" the sometimes harsh reality of dating! It encourages and guides you to a different way of looking at dating! An amazing book by an amazing writer! Well done! I would recommend this book to anyone!

I really enjoyed this book. It was funny and helped to see the difference between the movies and real life. I liked that it wasn't a how to and overwhelm me with what to do and what not to do. I liked the reading the experiences of the character with a couple of them in which I could relate. I loved the encouragement in it too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Book I Have Read In A Long Time!!!, April 30, 2014

This review is from: Chick Flicks Lie: Sugar-free Accounts of a Positive Pessimist (Paperback)
First of all I have to say that I am not an avid reader. When I do decide I want to read a book, the book must capture my attention in the first 10 - 15 pages otherwise I will immediately lose interest. Holly's book had my attention right from the first page. It is so well written and absolutely funny. I literally laughed so hard in certain sections that my sides hurt and I had tears streaming down my face. I haven't laughed that hard in a very long time. I guess it was so funny to me because I totally related to so many of the scenarios in this book. It made me think about my own past experiences and just laugh out loud because I have been there and done that. LOL! I loved how each section was just a page or a few pages at a time. It was very easy to read and if you only had time to read small amounts at a time it is perfect! Holly totally captured the ups and downs of today's dating world and definitely took me on a journey as I read through the trials and tribulations of Leah. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has had their share of ups and downs in the dating world. This book can be enjoyed by anyone, not just single people. I can guarantee that you will be able to relate to one or many of the scenarios of this book and manage to get a laugh or two along the way. Holly is a truly talented writer and I am so excited to read more of her books in the future. Go get this book! You won't be disappointed! :)

This review is from: Chick Flicks Lie: Sugar-free Accounts of a Positive Pessimist (Paperback)
Finally! A book that doesn't tell me what I'm doing wrong about dating, or how I should be doing it, but a book that makes me feel like I'm not alone! I have lived some of the stories that Holly's character Leah Gardowski tells. This book is so funny and spot on! The cover alone drew me in, but once I started reading, I didn't want to put it down! The great thing about it though is the way that the book is divided up into small sections, so if you can only read for a couple of minutes, you don't have to stop in the middle of a story. I recommend this book for women AND men! Go get a copy!!
