Summary
Have you heard of The Rules of Engagement? It's a book that promises to teach you to find the man of your dreams in 10 easy steps. Unsurprisingly, I don't own a copy. What is it, 1892?
But I'm a journalist, and I've promised to follow it to the letter and write about the results. Never mind that my friends think I'm insane, I'm stalking men all over town, and I can't keep my mouth shut at the best of times.
My name is Cat Buchanan. I'm 36 years old and live with my daughter in Glasgow. I've been single for six years, but that's about to change. After all, I'm on a deadline. I Followed the Rules, and this is what happened.

The best book I've ever heard (or read for that matter!)
I love this author! She is absolutely hilarious. The reader of the story could not be more perfect for the character. The changes in accents and voices were not at all cringeworthy (let's admit! Sometimes it can be!).
I loved every single second of the story. I'll be getting her other book and keeping an eye out for more from this author! Loved it!!

*Dating by Numbers*
Cat is a busy journalist who writes for a magazine under the pseudonym of ‘Glasgow Girl’. She has a wonderful young daughter whose father was the love of her life is getting married to someone else.
One of her colleagues hands her a book ‘The rules of Engagement’ she is cynical about the author’s statement that you can find your dream date in 10 steps her disapproval leads her to trash the book online.
Painfully aware that she needs a good story to please her editor who feels her work needs more punch. So after her critique the author gets in touch with her editor and requests a lunch meeting with Cat. Unbeknownst to her he also uses a pseudonym, then Cat finds herself doing an experiment following the rules, lol
A fun and easy read, just what I needed with interesting results

Brilliant book!
I absolutely loved this. It's not for everyone as it is a very modern story but I think it is brilliant. I had a smile on my face all the way through the second half. It is original, witty with a feel good factor. Just what I love. The narration starts off quite pacey but you soon get into it and it is excellently read.

Humerous story, easy listening
I've enjoyed this light hearted and unchallenging listen, listened to it from start to finish this afternoon while off work feeling poorly. Just the thing to cheer me up - made me laugh out loud in places. Loved the Scottish accent of the narrator, and thought she did an excellent job with all the different voices and accents. Easy on the ear, and well paced.

didn't quite meet my expectations.
Took about 10 chapters of waffling before it got to the crux of the story, I suppose kept my interest as I was interested in the subject matter. in fact the "great guy" that she ended up with was an arrogant prick who was extremely disrespectful if you stand back and analyse his behaviour rather than be swept along with the emotion. Guess its a work of fiction but don't take it too seriously as it doesn't prove any point

Lots of sex and swearing but otherwise enjoyable
As the title says - lots of sex and swearing but otherwise enjoyable! Maybe a bit predictable too. But still a good “bath time” listen.
