Thanks to Cat Boyd of Viking and Penguin Books, I’m giving away one print copy of ‘Love By the Book’ by Melissa Pimentel and a bag of wine charms.
Book Description:
A hilarious and refreshingly honest foray into modern dating, Age, Sex, Location is Bridget Jones’s Diary for HBO’s Girls generation.
An American living in London, Lauren is intelligent, beautiful and loves to party. So why can’t she convince a man she isn’t after something more serious than scrambled eggs and goodbye in the morning?
Determined to snare some regular male affection, she embarks on a project: each month she will follow the rules of a different dating guide – from refusing to pay the bill to chatting up every man in her path – and will switch seamlessly to the next book at the end of each month.
Lauren’s love life is about to get scientific . .

About Melissa Pimentel:
Melissa Pimentel grew up in a small town in Massachusetts in a house without cable and therefore much of her childhood was spent watching 1970s British comedy on PBS. At twenty-two, she made the move to London to do an MA in Modern Literature at University College London. She has lived there happily for ten years, though she still adamantly refuses to eat a scotch egg.
Before meeting her fiancé, she spent much of her time trawling the London dating scene for clean, non-sociopathic sexual partners and blogging about it, which became the inspiration for her first novel. These days, she spends much of her time reading in the various pubs of Stoke Newington and engaging in a long-standing emotional feud with their disgruntled cat, Welles. She works in publishing.
This giveaway is open to the U.S. only and ends on February 28, 2015. Please use Rafflecopter to enter.
sounds entertainment. thanks.
Sounds like a fun book. The wine charms are great too. Thanks for the giveaway.
I wonder if the author will be taking ‘rules’ from real-life dating guides.
You raise a fascinating question! I would be very curious to find out, but it’s not my kind of book so won’t find out by reading it personally…very curious though! Cheers, Kara S
I find it interesting that she follows the rules of a different dating guide each month. I think it would be a very different and fun read. Thanks for having the giveaway.
