Review: Confessions of a secret admirer
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 06 1, 2014
Three stories of romance among modern people with busy lives.I preferred the first story in which a girl comes home to a town and finds that one guy she used to date is married with a daughter, but his brother whom she also dated is still single.A story of a girl deciding to go out and find the right man instead of waiting for one, sounds fine but when she goes around leaving her pick secret notes it sounds like stalking, I'm afraid. Just because it's a man on the receiving end it doesn't make this behaviour funny.The final story did not gel for me at all. If a man has lived in the apartment opposite a single girl for two years, and has found her interesting, how come he never asked her what she does for a living? This girl is writing a cartoon strip for a paper about a socially awkward girl in the big city and if she has been working for a paper for two years, she would have had all the shyness knocked out of her.All three stories explore the bedroom and at times this felt like the obligatory bedroom scene rather than containing any emotion.  That is the main reason why I am not giving this book more stars. However, other readers may enjoy it more than I did.
