Mackenzie Atkinson always had her reservations about moving in with her boyfriend three doors down from her overbearing mother. But the reality is even worse than she could have imagined. Meddlesome, boyfriend-hating and super critical, Eleanor parks herself on Mackenzie and Dan's sofa every night to watch Eastenders with her yappy dog, Baby and cat, Pussy (no, really). To save her relationship with Dan, Mackenzie needs to keep her mother out of harm's way and what better way than to find her a lover of her own. Mackenzie finds herself interviewing dozens of unsuitable men hoping to meet her mum, from leery old-timers to clueless wellie-wearers. And vetting all these men for her mother is hardly giving her more time to spend with Dan, but does she really mind that much after all? It is more important to her not give up until The One is found. For her mum, of course.Kismetology introduces us to a riotous array of unseemly gents as Mackenzie goes on her fast-paced matchmaking marathon. And just as the dating format begins to get repetitive, Admans creates more hilarious ways for Mackenzie to meet older men. This novel really explores what relationships are all about and questions anyone who is willing to settle for ordinary instead of trying to find, and cling onto, that elusive true love. The perfect uplifting book for real romantics.Review by Nikki Mason on behalf of BestChickLit.com
