| Valentine’s Day was approaching and Kathy was determined
to get the whole nine yards of the dozen roses, the basketful
of chocolates and the romantic dinner. As the days count down,
there is still no man in sight, so she resorts to desperate
measures. She goes hunting in the clubs and even the
classified section, when she eventually gets lucky the
potential candidate cancels their date, day before valentines.
Her best friend Janine found a guy without even looking, and
Ricky Janine’s little brother even has a date on the day. On
Valentine’s Day she starts receiving her dream valentine, so
who is the mystery man who seems to just have popped out from
nowhere. Not Another Dateless Valentine's Day
is a well-written and well-orchestrated book in which the
pieces, like pieces from a puzzle, fall into place. The book
made me look at another angle on how gimmicky and
commercialized Valentine’s Day is. I liked the book but there
wasn’t any element of surprise at the end. |
