Blind Dates, Big Love and Six Tinder Weeks: av Bena Roberts
This reads like a memoir so it gets a bit mundane in spots, however, since the title CLEARLY says Realistic as well as Comedy; that puts it in the plus side. And comical.. yes, yes it was! I enjoyed reading this. ** I won this in a goodread giveaway sponsored by the author, Bena Roberts.
If you are looking for a sassy romantic comedy to while away a cold winter afternoon, then look no further, Six Tinder Weeks by author Bena Roberts is just what you need!
In Six Tinder Weeks, the reader is transported to Frankfurt, Germany where they meet forty-year-old Helen, who has decided to leave her husband and their twenty miserable years of marriage. Helen takes the reader along for the ride as she goes on a journey of self-discovery filled with humor and quirky trials and errors that will keep the reader in stitches. From changing her hairstyle to following her hair stylist's suggestion to join the online dating site SPKR filled with hilarious hookups, to getting a holistic treatment, Helen is a hot mess but along the way she learns a lot about herself and discovers what she really wants.
I really enjoyed reading this fun story, it's relatable and you can't help but get what Helen is going through in her life. The author does a great job of providing the reader with richly vivid descriptions of various European cities (Frankfurt, Barcelona, and Prague) while inserting a lot of quirky humor into the trials and tribulations that Helen endures during a six-week timeframe of finding herself. Add in the mix a host of characters (younger sister Portia, ex-husband Edward, hairstylist Alex, secret agent and SPKR member CJ Ramsey, and the other crazy SPKR dudes), and you have a truly fun romantic comedy that will have you laughing out loud and leave a smile on your face ... well except for the cliffhanger ending that involves CJ and leaves you wondering if a sequel is in the works.
I would be remiss if I didn't applaud the author for weaving a realistic tale that anyone can relate to when it comes to the ups and downs of life and relationships. From middle age changes of hairstyles, to attempting to navigate the slippery slope of online dating sites, to figuring out who you are and what you want out of life and relationships, author Bena Roberts knocks this story out of the park!

I giggled and outright laughed my way through this story, which was a fun look at dating for us 'older' ladies (not in our twenties, let's just say) and had a fast pace, relatable characters, and an uplifting tone. This is a great way to start the new year for readers looking for something entertaining, realistic, and encouraging, with a fresh perspective that offers hope along with humor. I am definitely looking forward to more stories from Roberts.
