Dating the Wrong Men

The possibility found in this book couldn't have fallen into my lap at a more perfect time. Well, that's not entirely true, it might have made a difference in my personal life had I come across it much sooner, especially considering the few most recent frogs.

Dating the Wrong Men brought comfort to me in a time when confusion can, well, confuse. My situation is not the easiest to be in, but it's nowhere near the most difficult. The other part of this spectrum sure is far more difficult than that on my own end, with which I can't even imagine. Kelly Rossi "uniquely narrates her struggles in the quest to finding love and fulfillment, while learning how to avoid the pitfalls in today’s selfish, male-ego driven society."

I read the book in one day! Not necessarily one sitting, I did do a few random things in between here and there. I just had to know what kind of frog was next and what Kelly experienced with him, how it panned out, and most importantly I couldn't wait to find out how Kelly's story would end considering the table of contents made it very apparent she did in fact find her Right Man. PHEW! There's still hope for me. Haha.

I found that she has dated all of the types of men I've encountered in my life, and many more! Kelly adds humor, emotion, and offers places of help (addiction, abuse) when and where needed. While following along reading through the details that played out with each individual, Kelly makes you feel as if you are right there with her. I felt as if I was her friend, living through the times with her as she recalled frog after frog. Kelly writes from a very interesting perspective. She recounts her time with the particular frog she's describing, shares signs you might be dating one of that same type yourself, and gives final thoughts on this type of man frog. Her tone is that of a light, pleasant even when describing hardships, energetic vibe. It is a fun, easy read that you, like myself, won't want to put down.

I had a great experience, and enjoyed much entertainment while reading the book, and had an even better experience connecting with the author after the fact.

Reading the book prompted me the desire to know more, I had to know if the author had ever been in the shoes I am wearing right now. Kelly Rossi is so damn charming! I mean, I already knew that from reading her book, but she is equally as excellent online (social media) and conversationally (email). I greatly appreciate her response(s) and look forward to continued future communication. And if you're so curious to know about what she had to say, though it will remain private, I will share that it set my mind at ease, was enlightening, and encouraging. Kelly is cheerful, sweet, kind, polite, all around awesome.

This book makes for a great dating "bible" for anyone who is looking for tips/tricks, and even if you're not. It's highly entertaining for just about anyone, male or female, even if you aren't dating or seeking "advice." Basically, it would be a very enjoyable read for literally anybody! I'm sure I will revisit it when/where needed, and for fun, too!

Sidenote: I also had a lovely non-date recently, with a male friend who has kind of already been there, done that, completely from the same male perspective, only my friend's was much messier, longer, and far more complicated. The takeaway and reason for mentioning it? It helped my perspective, a lot, which is exactly why I enlisted his insight. Plus, it was really nice to catch up. And he's still with the lovely lady he started seeing when we first met, too.

Furthermore, being at #brandtwedding2015 last night brought some interesting "emotions" to surface. As if I could possibly feel any more empathy. But in closing on that, it might not be the simplest situation, nor easiest; I do know with absolutely no doubt whatsoever that I am extremely lucky.

By the way, I received my copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.
