Must admit, I didn’t expect to read it in one sitting - it’s easily the funniest book I’ve read this year so far, but it’ll be hard to beat!

In Single, Taken Cursed Nicki Bell, tells some of her worst dating experiences, and the more unbelievable they funnier they get. I thought I had some bad dating experiences…

This woman is an incredible story teller, I felt like I was sitting in a bar with a gin her telling me about her bad dates.

Hilarious and quick read!

I don’t know if these stories are truly real, but if they are. . . . Someone get this woman a lifestyle supply of wine. The stories were hilariously told and felt totally relatable, regardless of whether you’re single or not. A must read if you’re looking for something fun and light.

A laugh out loud book filled with anecdotes from the author's dating life. She has a gift with words and you can see the events in your mind as they play out.
Perhaps not a book to read on public transport as fellow commuters may think you're crazy as you sit cackling to yourself at the funny parts (& all of them are funny)
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for allowing me the chance to read this book.

I loved this book, it was so hilarious. Her dating horror stories were great, and I can relate to them because we all have our own dating horror stories. I also liked that the book was based in Scotland, as the country fascinates me. Overall it was a great and hilarious read, and I couldn't stop laughing while reading it. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced reader copy.
