A Girl Like You

One of the most endearing books I have read to date, A Girl Like You follows single mom Jess Gabriel into the world of online dating and gives the reader much more than he or she bargains for. Jess is newly single and has just divorced her second husband Bryan. Even though she still loves him, she knows she has to move on. She has two amazing adult children, Madison and Ian, and the perfect companion in her little dog Penny.

What I really loved about this book is the way Jess interacts with her children. They are both really supportive and are also attempting to date online like Jess to find “The One.” She is so close to both of them and they all check in on one another. Almost all the men Jess goes on dates with are weird. Frighteningly weird. The story is very entertaining and funny at times, while it is sad at other times. Jess’s adventures in dating made this book hard to put down. It’s a fun read for anyone who may be single and venturing in the dating pool or for fans of humorous chick lit.
