Thanks to all who entered.

Top 1% Goodreads reviewer gives “88 Guys for Coffee” 5 stars! “Read it, laugh with it, roll with it, this is a sparkling gem for sure!”

Book Description: Abandoned – no, dumped from her 7-year marriage, Laura’s self-worth was in tatters. Some people land on their feet. She landed on the kitchen floor in a puddle of frozen yogurt.

Longing to find her true partner in life, Laura takes a deep breath and plunges into online dating. Oh my. What a roller coaster. Only with the aid of modern technology could you line up this many frogs to kiss.

Hilarious and heartbreaking, soul-searching and spiritual, “88 Guys for Coffee” is loosely based on the author’s own 5-year online dating saga. The horror stories are true, bizarre, and laugh-out-loud funny.

Top 1% Goodreads reviewer Dianne Bylo* said, “Should I laugh? Should I cry? Laugh until I cry? Grab a cup of coffee, wear your most comfy clothes and hang out the DO NOT DISTURB sign because this is a tale of the heart and soul… Humorous, heartbreaking, eye-opening and filled with some truly wickedly funny scenes… Read it, laugh with it, roll with it, this is a sparkling gem for sure!” *

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great, heart warming summer read!

By ck on June 6, 2017

Format: Paperback

I loved this book!! It has it all. Funny, smart, witty, touching, Insight, and just lovely. What a great and fun story to read it was! The parts about the dates were just so entertaining and funny because they were true. I felt as if I really got to know that woman and went through the ups and downs with her. It was a very good and on target depiction of the woman’s point of view.

And the ending, the beautiful, romantic, ending. It was just fabulously written and just shined.

I really believe any man out there dating should be required to read this book. What a lot he could learn!

Dii Bylo’s Goodreads Review:

“Should I laugh? Should I cry? Laugh until I cry? Diane Solomon’s 88 GUYS FOR COFFEE is proof that there IS light at the end of the tunnel of love and it is NOT an oncoming train! Grab a cup of coffee, wear your most comfy clothes and hang out the DO NOT DISTURB sign because this is a tale of the heart and soul of online dating for a woman who refused to believe that every prince is a frog in disguise.

This is Laura’s story, or rather her five year saga of looking for “Mr. Right for Me” after the coward she once thought of as her husband jumped ship like a thief in the night, stealing her self-respect, dignity, self-confidence and probably her favorite pan, (okay I just added the pan bit). This is the good, the bad and short and bald of false dating advertising, bait and switch pictures and the ones that got away, thank goodness!

Never tried online dating? Thinking about maybe giving it a go? Know someone, male or female who is thinking of looking for love or at least a decent person through the maze that is cyberspace? Read Diane Solomon’s88 GUYS FOR COFFEE first and feel, witness and learn, Grasshopper, because it may be a jungle out there, but our heroine, Laura has become a warrior in a world that can be terrifying and a guide to learning to love yourself first and the rest will fall in place when it is meant to.

Humorous, heartbreaking, eye-opening and filled with some truly wickedly funny scenes as lived and chronicled by Laura’s firsthand experience, Diane Solomon is sharing more than some wit and wisdom, she is sharing the kaleidoscope that is life, warts and all. It’s okay to feel horrified, mystified and justified for scoffing at online dating, just as it’s okay to maybe give it a try, then another try and maybe even another. It took our Laura 88 attempts, five years and gallons of coffee, gas and frog kisses, not to mention hours of her life she will never get back, but in the end, she found herself as much as she found her prince! Read it, laugh with it, roll with it, this is a sparkling gem for sure!”

I received this ARC edition from Diane Solomon in exchange for my honest review. (Okay, honestly, I read it almost month ago and have been waiting until closer to its release day!)

DIANE’S NEW HUMOROUS NOVEL: 88 Guys for Coffee

Publication date June 1, 2017  

Pre-order now, $.99 for a short time.

My new humorous novel, a “fictional memoir,” is entitled 88 Guys for Coffee.

It’s a humorous look at my five years of online dating. The dating stories are true, almost word for word, but I created a whole new character as the protagonist.

It is aimed mainly at women, but some of you guys might like it, too.

BACK COVER TEXT:

Abandoned and feeling lost, her self-worth in tatters, Laura  decides to try online dating sites. What an education.  And what a long, five years she has ahead.

Hilarious and heartbreaking, soul-searching and spiritual, “88 Guys for Coffee” shares Laura’s roller-coaster ride of experience searching for her soul mate, for her true partner in life. No matter how crazy it gets, no matter how disillusioned she becomes, she can’t give up. She won’t give up.

Laura learns all there is to know about online dating,
but she learns the most about herself.
