In her book ‘28 Disastrous Dates: A (Mostly True) Humourous Memoir', Poppy Mortimer recounts some of her most hilarious adventures in the dating scene. From her twenties to her present forties, the writer has come a long way in the dating game, acquiring a wealth of related wisdom, which she graciously shares with her readers on these pages. As it's mentioned in the title that these accounts are mostly true, we can conclude that a lot of exaggerations from the actual truth are inserted to enhance the comedic effect. But I don't find it surprising to encounter such characters in such a book.
The writer has succeeded in recounting the episodes with wit and in camouflaging some of the creepiness with humour. It is an easy read that may guide young women who are in the dating game and young men to realise the ways in which they destroy their chances with the above-mentioned young women.
