'Right Click, Love' is a novella length story about the difficulties of finding love in the modern world. It follows the attempts of Jodie and Louise as they attempt to navigate their way through the dating scene trying to find a decent man. From blind dates to speed dating to online dating no stone is left unturned. But what makes this story so awesome is the way that its told. We have had loads of stories of a similar vein but most of this story takes the form of a blog with the girls reflecting on events after they happen. I loved this. Sure the story continues to be told in between blog entries but its done in a seamless fashion.
What I like most about this novella is that most women out there will be able to relate to the struggles that the girls face. Jodie and Louise are completely down to earth and really likeable. No designer clothes or pretentions here at all, just two ordinary girls looking for that someone special.
The writing is witty and easy to read. It matches the girls' characters perfectly. It is fun and will definitely make you laugh out loud with some of their exploits. Combined with the men they encounter on their journey this is just a perfect blend of characters, plot and writing. As the women have been looking for quite awhile for their someone special, they struggle to recognize a good relationship when they find one, which, again, is something that most of us can relate to. I think most women after reading this will have been through most of these experiences and will be able to totally relate. A really enjoyable short read from an author with a down to earth writing style.

Disheartened
about not being able to find “Mr. Right” on the London dating
scene, best friends Jodie Lynch and Louise Hewson create a blog to
not only document their disastrous dates with the numerous “Mr.
Wrongs” and “Mr. Okay-for-nows” but also to help those going
through the same experiences and to see where they’re going wrong.
How will they deal with everything the dating scene has to throw at
them — planned or otherwise?
Excerpt:
Sipping
her hot coffee, Jodie Lynch tapped in her login details to check how
well the latest blog post had been received. The stats were through
the roof, and there were almost thirty comments awaiting approval.
She’d never expected that writing about the nonexistent sex life
being experienced by her and her best friend Louise Hewson would
garner so much attention.
Ever
since they’d started the blog six months ago after suffering yet
another dire date with someone who wasn’t what they’d
‘advertised,’ the friends had begun to enjoy the torture of
dating. Back then, Jodie had sat with Louise drinking cheap rosé
into the early hours and lamenting the lack of decent, single, honest
men who still had their own hair and teeth. That wasn’t too much to
ask, was it? Without thinking and under the influence, Jodie had
pulled out her laptop and set up the blog. She’d been thankful that
she hadn’t posted anything that evening, and she had almost deleted
the blog altogether once she’d overcome her hangover the next day.
However, after to speaking with Louise, Jodie had decided to go ahead
with the no-holds-barred outlet for their frustration. She read the
last post back before looking at the comments.

Why
Would You?
So, Louise got set up on another blind date by her boss Theresa. She kept telling Louise that Mark was “such a nice guy” and “so perfect for you”. Since pickings had been slim, Lou tarted herself up, yet again making me jealous of her gorgeous, slim, petite figure, which made my almost six-foot frame look extra gangly. As I curled her hair, she began her age-old whinge about wanting my red hair. Who wants to be ginger with all the hassle we get? Anyway, I digress. She got ready and went to meet him at the local Bella Pasta (His choice, not hers. *eye roll*). Typical Louise, she arrived early. She decided to wait at the tiny bar and get herself a drink — non-alcoholic, of course, since we ALL know what happened last time. While she waited, she scoped out all the escape points. Just in case.
Thank you so much!!
