For me this book was a little rocky at first but then I got into it.
Modern women don't believe in love. Believing in love carries roughly the same stigma as halitosis. It's old-fashioned as going on a diet (as opposed to a detox).
..........I know all that and yet I do believe in love.
With her first two irresistible novels, Anna Maxted won the hearts of readers everywhere. Now, in Behaving Like Adults, she introduces us to twenty-nine-year-old Holly, the sunny, optimistic owner of Girl Meets Boy, a dating service for those who are "beautiful inside and out." She's ambitious- and successful-with her matchmaking, but she hasn't quite fulfilled her own relationship dreams (her ex-fiancé, Nick, seems unlikely to progress from his job as Mr. Elephant, children's party entertainer). So when her friends dare her to pick a man off the top of the pile, she's game.
But in one awful evening the perfect-on-paper Stuart turns out to be a thorough cad, and Holly's belief in the goodness of humanity takes a hit. How can she make good matches when she can no longer trust her ability to read people? What does this mean for her business-and her romantic future? Holly's friends and colleagues are drawn into the complicated drama of her life, while Holly learns her most important lesson: to trust herself.
A must read of Anna Maxted's many fans, Behaving Like Adults is a rueful and hilarious novel of men and women growing up - in spite of themselves.
