"There were three of us in the relationship: Joe, me and Joe's intriguing, unfolding narrative."
This was an excruciating read for me. Who hasn't been on a date with an unreliable narrator? Yet, who could foresee the extent of what Stephanie Wood went through. Her writing is compelling and you will be flicking pages with a mixture of horror and intrigue.
Perhaps this is what every single gal needs in her stocking this year as a warning to keep their eyes open. I realise how some of my friends may scoff at me making that statement.
What is even more interesting is the way Wood combines her own stories with those of others, along with research and input from experts. It makes for a well balanced, journalistic exploration of the traps of today's dating world and the disreputable behaviours that abound.
You will google search any potential dates as a minimum before taking anything at face value after reading this.

5 out of 5 - no such thing as romance.
