Synopsis

Dating isn’t easy these days. Just ask hapless singletons Jamie Newman and Laura McIntyre, two thirtyish Brits who are trying to remain positive in the face of all of the awkwardness, chaos, and humiliation that pave the road to finding love. Jamie, who’s still licking his wounds after his fiancée abandoned him, will try just about anything to find the girl of his dreams: from disastrous blind dates to the world’s worst speed-dating event. Laura, who is getting a little nervous with the big 3-0 looming, tries to put her awful-but-sexy ex in her rear view and move on, even if it means blind dates with spandex-clad bikers and drunken first-date hand jobs. When Jamie and Laura finally meet each other, love starts to blossom—but throw in some bad fajitas, obnoxious parents, and exes coming out of the woodwork, and things get complicated fast. A hilarious, relatable romp through the travails of modern love, this book will make you laugh until you cry.

Review

‘Crude, cleverly constructed and downright hilarious!’ —Closer Book of the Week

‘Lots of fun.’ —New!

‘This is a funny read about life and love and how difficult it is not only to meet the one, but then to try not to poison, alienate or otherwise distress them in a huge variety of ways...They're great characters and you'll be rooting for them from the off, not to mention howling with laughter in the process...It was obviously only a matter of time before someone snapped [Spalding] up and I'm very glad they did as I haven't giggled so much in ages. I sailed through it, only occasionally having to put it down to wipe the tears of mirth from my cheeks.' —Daily Mail

‘Absolutely hilarious. Seriously, I'd warn you not to read it in public as people will look at you strangely as you attempt to do that supressed belly laugh thing that makes you look demented. Anyone who's ever had a cringeful date that's ended in humiliation (that's pretty much all of us, then!) will heart this...Fabulous. Once I was 50 pages into this book I had to put it down until I could see through the tears of laughter streaming down my face. The tales of Jamie and Laura's dates are uncut, hilarious and scarily close to real life...“The Fajita Incident” will go down in history as one of the funniest scenes I have ever read...As well as being hilariously funny, Love...From Both Sides is also cute, warm and easily relatable.’ —Novelicious

‘The funniest book I have ever read in my life, ever...I can't WAIT to read the two sequels, Love...And Sleepless Nights and Love...Under Different Skies.’ —Chick Lit Reviews and News
