Book Description:
A trio of pals who, on their own, have utterly lost the dating game, decide to team up. They trust each other with their lives; now they've got to trust each other with their love lives. Ruby, Louisa and guy friend Martin do the desperate deed and pen personal ads, sort replies and plan dates -- for each other.
Friends don't let friends settle . . .
Which is why Martin won't let Ruby make her usual mistake of being a just-divorced egomaniac's "transitional lay," Lou is mad to match Martin with a girl with a brain and Ruby is determined to find the blond stranger who captured Lou's eye on the underground one morning.
A hilarious triple blind date at the same restaurant results in one split check, one spark-filled encounter and one very distraught young man handcuffed to a towel rack. But to find true love, the friends realize they've really got to broaden their horizons without losing sight of what's in front of them.

Three Brits decide to stop trying to find their own dates, instead they will each let the others find them a date in the personals. Wacky fun ensues.
Cute funny British chicklit (somehow it seems so much more insightful with a British accent!) about three friends and their love lives.

This book started out a little weak, dragged through the middle and ended just as weak. There were a few good parts here and there, but nothing that had me turning pages or laughing out loud. I found a lot of the plot to be just filler and one revelation at the end seemed to come out of nowhere.
Also, some of the editing could have been better. Barry Manilow did NOT sing the Pina Colada song!
I wish there was a review star in between "I liked it" and "I didn't like it" for just "it was okay."
Karen V. from CHICAGO, IL wrote on 3/31/2007...Three main characters and two secondary characters post various forms of personal ads with ensuing dates and adventures. The leads all find true love by the end. Pages clean, cover has a few creases.
