Review: Fun & entertaining "nibble"

This is a cute story about a woman, Mick,  who works for an online dating site.  Her friends are quirky and hilarious.  She, however, is extremely cynical about dating (occupational hazard?) and when she loses a bet with her best friend, must put her own profile in the system and go out with a few guys she's matched with.  In the end, you're introduced to lots of interesting characters, and Mick gets to meet a really cool guy.  It's the perfect read for a short plane trip or lunch hour, as it avoids a common problem with most shorter works: it offers completion. You won't feel like you're missing anything.  There's an appetizing beginning, a satisfying middle, and a delicious conclusion. The writing is excellent, and I'm hoping the author will eventually branch out into longer works.  She has a gift for characterization, and the dialogue is spot-on.
