Kismetology is unlike any other book I've ever read. It had me laughing from the first page, and appreciating that the story was completely different from anything I'd read before. Also - and I do feel the need to point this out, because I know some people pass when they see a book is self-published - this was hands-down one of the best-written (and edited) indie books I've ever read. Kudos to Ms. Admans!While the story started out very strong, I felt like it lost a bit of steam around the halfway mark. I got a bit tired of the dates, and I have to admit, I kind of lost interest when Mac decided she wanted to become a professional matchmaker. The dates were still funny, but it got to be a bit much, and the conversations/arguments between Mac and Dan and Mac and Eleanor got to be repetitive.That being said, I still very much enjoyed this book. I liked Mac's character growth and the discoveries she made. While she was out looking for the perfect man for her mother, she realized some things about her life and her own relationship, and it all felt very genuine. She had a strong voice, and her personality was a great balance to her mother's and Dan's.Overall, a very strong debut from an author who shows great potential. Well written, laugh-out-loud funny, charming, and unique, Kismetology is sure to please fans of chick lit.
