Synopsis:
So many frogs. So few princes.
Every single (and soon-to-be-single) woman knows the Dating Horror Stories. The guy who charms your panties off before he bolts. The funeral planner with a foot fetish. The Early Ejaculator. Or that filmmaker looking for a soul mate—provided you don't mind he lied about his height, his weight, his wife, and... oh look, a micropenis. How nice.
The bad news is that these guys exist. The good news? There are ways to find them, avoid them, and concentrate your energies on non-fuckwits. Who, as it turns out, also exist. Hurrah!
From deciphering Man Speak to the sexy perks of 30-year-old men, Catfishing 101, navigating hookup culture, and the safety precautions every woman should take, author Alethea Spiridon taps into her own hilarious—and occasionally heart-crushing—experiences in the dating world. Funny, forthright, and hopeful, Kissing Strangers is a survival-based how-to guide about looking for love online ... and how to separate the men from the frogs.
Review:
First up, I have not done online dating. Despite some good friends finding their significant others online, I found it intimidating and kinda weird. Alethea Spiridon lifts the veil on online dating in this sometimes hilarious, sometimes sobering book about her experiences. I found it a really good primer on how to go about online dating and things to look out for. It covers ‘rules’ to follow, the right attitude to take, and is peppered with personal experiences both good and bad. If this is a pool you’re thinking of dipping your foot into – or one you’re already in, this is a fantastic resource.

Unfortunately, it’s also put me off the experience myself. I know that 1 in 3 people find their partner online, but I think I want to be one of the other 2. It all sounds exhausting and I’m not ready to start kissing a lot of frogs to meet my prince. Maybe I’ll change my mind in the future – in which case this will be my go-to book. Until then, this will stay an entertaining but unused cover on my eReader.
