I received this book free to read and review from Library Thing. What a great first book for this author! I began the book and practically read it in one sitting. The story revolves around Mackenzie, who is searching for a true love for her divorced mother--so her mother will cease "stopping by" the house where she and her boyfriend, Daniel, live and getting on their nerves. As Mackenzie finds man after man for her mother, who just as quickly discards the men for no real reasons, the reader begins to feel a great deal of empathy for Mackenzie. However, like Mackenzie, the reader probably cannot fathom why her mother keeps discarding the men.  Naturally, in her search, Mackenzie tries out finding the men in various ways: through a friend, through an acquaintance, through on-line dating sites, through speed dating programs. Follow Mackenzie as she navigates today's dating scene,filled with quirky ins and outs (and prospective dates) as well as hilarious situations and predicaments. In addition, during the search, Mackenzie learns a lot about herself and her relationships with her mother and her boyfriend Daniel. I found this book well written, with well developed, believable characters. The story flowed well from one scene to the next. If the reader is looking for something easy to read as well as enjoyable, I recommend this book. I know I will be looking for her next book to come out.
