Blurb:
Lori
L. Hardacker is a first-time author who has unfortunately been dating
for over 20 years. The stories she has accumulated and her opinions
on dating will cause others laughter, joy, pain and tears. She is
emotionally, mentally and physically exhausted from the "dating
roller coaster" she has been on and tells it like it is with no
holds barred!
She shares
real-life and often times unbelievable stories from her experiences,
and the experiences and opinions of other singles. This book is in NO
WAY a self-help book, so don't read it if you are looking to make
sense of the world of dating. Read it if you are or have been single
and dating and are looking for others to commiserate with!
With
that all being said, put your seat in the upright position, lock
yourself in, grab the barf bag located in the seat in front of you,
hang on tight and enjoy the ride.
Strengths:
Now for something rather different today. I am writing this from the other side of the coin of course as I a man who as of typing is about to get married, and has always done his best to treat members of the opposite sex with respect as much as possible.
This book however by Lori L Hardacker looks at things from a very different way and she has my respect for writing such a honest and to the point book here as I am not sure if I could have wrote such a book like this about some of the dodgy dates I have being on over the years.
Dating – What the f**k is as the title says is a no holds barred journey of the way society has changed in relation to dating since Lori joined the dating world and some of the strengths made me embarrassed to be a man here (No Spoilers here lol).
Respect to Lori here as it is a topic you can see means a lot to her, and the research she has put into this shows she has put quite a lot of thought into this and Lori has wrote this really well in a very easy to follow and read style – I certainly flew through this book fairly quickly in enjoyment.
Weaknesses:
Not a lot I disliked here personally, but the on the nose style of this book certainly isn’t for everybody that is clear to say here as I know a few people alone who would really hate this book for the direct nature of this book.
I wasn’t one of them but its a book that wears its heart on its sleeve and has my respect for that as well as being told, a well thought and honest book on the minefield which is modern online dating.
8/10
