My review:

Been there done that ~ drinking in your 40’s is way different than drinking in your 20’s for sure and I felt the author did a great job of depicting how it takes a few days to really recover.

Kate has always been unlucky in love. I mean she was a bit much back in her 20’s, but when you’re young and in love you do some crazy stuff. She decides to give online dating a whirl to find someone to kiss on the next New Year’s Eve. Some of the dates were doozies and funny.

BFF’s, Julie and Ben, play a big part in the story and have their own 3rd person chapters. They each have their own issues they are harboring. Boss Terry is an absolute tool and I don’t know how his crap was put up with for so long. Even her work ‘buddies’ were iffy.

Overall, this was a fine debut that had some funny moments. The ending was not at all a surprise to my keen eye and I’m happy with it, but it was quite a journey getting there.

Book blurb:

A Hilarious and Heartening Take on the Pitfalls of Modern Dating

As the clock strikes midnight over a disastrous New Year’s Eve and happy couples celebrate all around her, Kate makes a resolution, hastily scrawled on the back of a napkin, that next New Year’s Eve she will have found someone of her own to kiss.

But when you’re a forty-something cat-mom who’d rather binge Netflix than brave the singles scene, finding someone to kiss turns out to be harder than it sounds. Kate is totally unprepared for navigating hook-up apps, speed-dating, and sliding into somebody’s DMs.

With the end of the year rapidly approaching, Kate seems further than ever from reaching her goal. As relationships crumble around her and dark long-kept secrets spill out, could Kate’s fixation on her quest cause her to let true love slip through her fingers forever?

Someone to Kiss is a wry and witty romantic comedy, tackling serious issues with real heart. The perfect new read for fans of Beth O’Leary, Jennier Weiner and JoJo Moyes.
