AT FIRST, DAISY IGNORES HER CAT'S
DATING ADVICE.
Daisy will turn 40 in eleven months and
has never married. Her family figures Daisy is a loser because she is
still in college trying to avoid paying off her student loans which
have amassed over 22 years of a miseducation. And all Daisy has is a
cat to keep her company. To make the crises worse, her cat begins
talking to Daisy, when she is sober! The mess of Daisy's life is even
kookier because the cat is cursing and smoking now and drinking more
alcoholic beverages. Mm, there must be a connection to all this
flowing alcohol, which may explain the bubbly in Daisy's brain. Her
sisters and mother insist on setting Daisy up on six blind dates and
all the men are named after liquor.
A heartwarming, LOL book that will make
you smile.
Read an Excerpt:
Alrighty
then, Daisy would dive into the swamp of blind dating, feet first.
She would trust her sisters to hunt down the right man for her, men
vetted by referrals, five blind dates. From the lucky candidates, she
would choose which man was right for her.
Daisy leaned
back against the sofa with her eyes closed. The experience would be
like The Bachelorette television show, starring her.
Daisy could
see herself arriving in a white stretch limo wearing movie-star
sunglasses.
She waves her
hand at the crowds lined with encouraging posters.
WE LOVE YOU
DAISY!
GO, GIRL!
DAISY NUMBER
ONE!
She climbs
out of the limo, wearing a white fur coat and walking as if she owns
the world.
Two yummy
tuxedo-dressed men swing open the doors for her.
She smiles
with sparkling-diamond teeth as each doorman kisses a hand.
There stand
five hunky handsome men, each with a rose twirling in his hand.
She spins to
the camera, showing a flash of panty and making the men swoon.
“Hi, I’m
Daisy, and I’m your newest Bachelorette.”
Daisy winks
at the camera. “You’re in for some steamy hot tub moments this
season so don’t change the channel. I may seem like a lunatic
talking to my cat, but I’m not crazy. Trust me.”
She
drops the fur coat exposing the strait jacket she’s wearing until
Shakespeare stuck his rear in her face, tail up. “Scratch my butt,
won’t you Daisy? There’s a good girl; I can’t reach that spot.”
Review: This is probably one of the funniest books I've read in a long time. Daisy is nearly 40 and a hot mess. She has a cat that suddenly starts talking in a British accent and her family want her to find a man.
Perish the thought that a woman could be complete without a man.
Daisy was just unbelievable and the blind dates, and the names of the blind dates! It really is absolutely hilarious. I felt so bad for her and then again I didn't.
I have to admit I questioned whether or not her sisters (all that have D names) really loved her, because the guys they set her up with were real doozies.
All that aside, it is hard not to read this book without laughing out loud.
The real star of this book was Shakespeare the cat and all the note and websites that ended the chapters.
I have to admit I kept thinking that this would make a hilarious romcom and not in the sappy way a lot of them are, but a more physical type of comedy a'la Jim Carrey.
This was a super fast, fun read. If you need a book that's a real pick me up, this one is it!
