This was such a fun read
It definitely had me giggling to myself
I enjoyed the characters and was definitely a feel good girl power read

The Dicktionary Club is a very funny, on-the-nose romantic comedy following three women all at different stages in their romantic lives.
I loved all three of the main female characters and I thought they worked really well together creating quite the dynamic trio.
Having recently been on the dating scene I could completely relate to the whole tinder dates (although I consider myself very lucky not to have had any like those in the book haha). Happily I’m now very much off the marker!
This is my first book by this author and it certainly won’t be my last.

The Dicktionary Club is a sharp, sassy dive into the messiness of modern dating. Sophie Gravia delivers a punchy, hilarious story about three Glasgow women who are completely over the dating disasters that keep landing in their DMs. Their solution? A revenge-fuelled website that calls out the worst of Scotland’s serial daters. It’s petty, it’s clever, and it’s wildly fun. The humor is loud and unapologetic, full of laugh-out-loud moments that anyone who’s ever been ghosted or matched with a walking red flag will appreciate. But what really carries the book is the chemistry between the friends—it’s that familiar, chaotic group chat energy in novel form. It’s definitely on the raunchy side, so expect some heat along with the humour. But behind the jokes and scandal, there’s a real celebration of friendship and self-worth.

I love books set in Scotland, especially Glasgow as it's my home town, so I was eager to read this one.
I loved the relationship between Ella, Katy and Zola. Their friendship is one I wish I had when I was younger. The wit, banter and one liners between them was priceless and gave me lots of belly laughs.
Although I thought the girls were great, there was some aspects of their personalities that I didn't like. Katy came across as too needy and Ella too picky, but there are many people like that.
I thought the idea of The Dicktionary Club was quirky but did think there was potential for this to go wrong. Although this is the name of the book, there is a lot more going on alongside the set up of the Club, with some additional interesting characters and developments.
If you don't mind spice and lots of sweary language, this is a laugh out loud romantic comedy. I found this to be a quick read, which would be perfect for holiday time.

I thoroughly enjoyed this quick, witty, funny romcom that was just what I needed. The banter and the language used were really familiar and relatable. I loved the use of the C word. It's a word a lot of folks dont like, but where I'm from, it can be used as an insult or a term of endearment 🤣
I loved the women's friendship and the pretty accurate minefield of the modern dating world. I don't think I could be bothered with dealing with it all 🤣
It will be fun to see what happens next for them!

The Dicktionary Club by @sophie.gravia_author 😏
Firstly a massive thank you to @lovebookstours for having me on this blog tour! It defo has been enjoyable to say the least!
Review: what can I say!!! I absolutely loved this book!! It was full of emotions, humour, betrayal, sadness, truth, happiness, plenty of “awww moments” and heavily sensual indeed! 😂
I absolutely love Ella, Zola And Katy! They were too funny! Each character brought their own spice to the mix of the story, which really complemented each other throughout! Looks like Philip and Curtis ended up being the green flags in the end!!
The whole concept of the Dicktionary club was too funny!!! So true and relatable indeed!
Overall the short chapters made the whole book so enjoyable, as they were short and snappy and really kept me enticed to keep reading!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What started off with a good, somewhat amusing premise, soon spiraled into something depraved, smutty, pornographic and downright cheap and trashy.
DNF - maybe it redeemed itself in the end, but quite honestly, I just couldn't get past about 60%. It had just deteriorated too much by that point for me to persevere.
Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC.

Imagine how different Sex and the City might have been if online dating were the focus and the girls were simply out for revenge on men - oh and it was set in Glasgow.
Well, now you dont have to, because Sophie Grava has brought it to life in The Dicktionary Club! A serious laugh out loud comedy where 3 best friends set up a website where you can rate your date!
Ella had her heartbroken by her longterm boyfriend when they realised they weren't compatible - he wanted kids and she doesn't. 3 years later, and she's completely sworn off men entirely, choosing to focus on her marketing career. When best friend Katy is ghosted by yet another man after sleeping together, Ella and other best friend Zola decide to set up a website which let's the women of Glasgow review their dates so they know what to expect.
Katy had me cackling all the way through the book - the poor girl was so jaded and fell in love with every guy she met. She ran towards red flags like it was an olympic sport and was always so surprised when they were terrible people.
Zola is engaged, but things are a bit rocky. She takes over Ella's dating profile and ends up becoming a bit too much involved which leads her down a road of trouble.
Ella is just trying to work. The poor woman has no interest in dating, is suspicious of all men, and can't seem to shake the attention of serial bachelor, Philip Khan.
There's giant dildos, a serious case of thrush, a tonne of steamy content and lots of banter.
As much as I enjoyed this book, I do think its appeal will only hit a certain demographic. If you're a fan of the casual c-bomb, are looking to hate on men, and fancy a cheeky, tongue in cheek romance, then this is absolutely for you.
Thank you to the author and @lovebookstours for a copy of the book in exchange for a review 💗

Looking for a book to raise a few eyebrows? A book that definitely wouldn't be a part of your Grandma's bookclub? Then this could be the book for you, especially for fans of The Bold Type (TV).
Part raunchy romp, part social commentary and all parts hilarious, this packs a punch! What's so good is the way it manages to be incredibly funny and light without sacrificing depth and storyline. You'll find yourself laughing at the audacious antics of the three women, but then a moment later, you will feel their sadness or pain. All of the characters are funny in their own ways whilst dismantling patriarchal norms.
Just the title alone is enough to entice anyone, right?! It definitely fits the tone of a book that is boldly rude and embraces taboo. If you are looking for something fresh, mischievous, and maybe even a little raunchy, all with a purpose, then you have to read The Dicktionary Club! 🍆

As soon as I heard about this book, I couldn’t wait to read it. I think any woman who has used or currently using dating apps will be able to connect with this book. At the start I couldn’t quite work out the dynamic of the three friends but soon understood. I like that it had the main storyline but also each woman had their own storyline on the side too. I found this book funny and realistic, even if some phrases threw me a bit. I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars.

Light-hearted and fun, "The Dicktionary Club" makes for an ideal summer read.
I can't count how many times I laughed out loud while reading it.
This was my first book by Sophie Gracia, but I'll make sure to check out her other books as well.

I loved this read, as it was totally relevant and relatable to today’s norms of online dating. I devoured this and had I not been adulting with work commitments, I could have seen myself reading this by the poolside somewhere 🏖️
I laughed out loud SO often as this book and its characters were hilariously funny. Would 100% recommend if you’re looking for your next hot girl beach read.

This does make you chuckle. Dating seems pretty horrifying to me. Never done it and hoping I never have to. Nowadays people seem to collect people through apps and you never really know what you're going to end up with...a bit like online shopping when you end up with a random substitution 😬 Far too daunting for me and I'm not sure where you even start with that. 🤔
Zola, Katy and Ella are completely different personality wise but they have great dynamics and support each other completely. I did wonder what Andrea's issue was and was hoping we'd find out and see her mellow a little. Guessing her personality is just generally crap and she's terrible to everyone. Am sure we've all met people like that - the sort that suck the life out of a room. It's sad as life is much too short to be wasting energy on making others' lives difficult.
Relationships are central in this and the idea of the dicktionary app is a good one. I can see why the women came up with it . It's not about evening the playing field but adding a bit of honesty too it providing people answered honestly. Some of the dates were pretty horrendous and you'd have to laugh if that was your experience. There are some strange people in the world

I had so much fun with this romantic comedy read. I really loved the different characters in the book and found myself laughing out loud at certain scenes. This is a great book for the romance readers out there especially ones going on dates, because some of the dates in the book were hilarious.

This was such an enjoyable read. What an innovative idea too. I listen to the audio as well as physically reading it and would definitely recommend doing that! All of the women had something special to offer in terms of their character. I really warmed to them all and laughed out loud at so many moments. It was somewhat nostalgic in places making me think oh yes I’ve been in that dating situation myself and then at other times I was screaming at the page shouting oh my gosh I can’t believe that just happened. What a fun read. I would pick it up again in a heart beat.

Such a great concept, an app that you can check out prospective dates and any red flags.
I think we have all had a date we’d rather forget, mine was a guy picking me up saying ‘sorry I’m late I was watching a really interesting documentary on rhinoceros’ 😳 it just got worse from then on 😂
Anywhoo back to the book, it was hilarious, Ella, Katy and Zola are such good characters, I laughed, I felt the emotion. I will be recommending this book to my friends and will definitely be buying myself a hard copy to keep.
Apart from that it’s also a story of friendship and trying to find that love or happiness we all deserve.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to read the first chapter of this book. Absolutely hilarious, will definitely be adding this to my list to read.

Ella, Katy, and Zola are done with Glasgow’s dating scene. From ghosting to catfishing to cringe-worthy Tinder messages, navigating love in today’s society has become an absolute nightmare! But when one of them is dumped by a guy who saw her as nothing more than a quick swipe, the trio decide to fight back and take matters into their own hands. Creating The Dicktionary Club - an exclusive, women-only website dedicated to exposing Scotland’s worst serial swipers with brutally honest reviews.
Their mission is to help women spot the red flags, dodge heartbreakers, and take back control of the dating scene. But as the site goes viral, so does the drama in their own love lives. And when one of them starts falling for a guy she’s been warning others to avoid, things get even messier and more complicated than ever.
I mean - how fun?! This book is girly, spicy, super fun and something a little different! It’s all over bookstagram at the moment and I couldn’t wait to read it, it’s so much fun and hilarious, especially the reference to ‘sticky Vicky’! I laughed so much!
⚠️ Sexual Language
⚠️ The C-bomb is dropped a lot throughout
So if you don’t mind the above - it’s a very entertaining read!

Wow wow wow 👌 what a read!!!! Thank you for letting me be a arc reader for this ama,ing book. I know the struggles with online dating it can be a absolute nightmare! But Sophie captures everything in the book and I bet women who are now dating online wishes something like this did exist. This book was funny which had my chuckling to myself. I loved the main character Ella, I dont want to spoil it so I won't but I guessed what I thought was going to happen but the twist at the end I didnt see that coming! Sophie is such a great author I love her writing style as she was easy to read unlike some books I struggle with, im definitely going to look into Sophies book more and read them.

Ok where did I even start with this book 😍 i knew the minute Sophie announced she was releasing another book it was going to be just as good as her last 4 books and boy she did not disappoint 🥰 I laughed, cried and shouted all the way through. I felt so connected to all 3 characters and felt a strong bond with them it was like I was reading my friends messages in this book 🙈
As a Scottish lass who stays just outside Glasgow i had a sense and feeling of being in the bars/clubs with the girls. The banter/ language is definitely my vibe and you can never say the C word too many times 😂😂 and the spice was just 🥵🥵🥵
If you haven't read this then get it on your TBR list ASAP!! you will not be disappointed 🍆🥰😍
I really hope @sophie realises more books she has definitely became my favourite author ❤️
