Week 45 Review: Dating Disasters of Emma Nash

From Goodreads:
Don't miss the laugh-out-loud novel of the year!

Online, you can choose who you want to be. If only real life were so easy…

Emma Nash may be down, but after months of wallowing, stalking her ex online and avoiding showering—because, really, who's going to care?—Emma's ready to own her newly single status, get out with her friends and chronicle her dating adventures on her private blog.

But life online doesn't always run smoothly. Stumbling upon her mother's Tinder dating profile, getting catfished and accidentally telling the entire world why her ex-boyfriend Leon's not worth any girl's…um…time… Okay, those were disasters.

But surely nothing else can go wrong?

Filled with fun, flirty encounters and heartwarming friendships, Dating Disasters of Emma Nash will shock and delight scores of readers looking for something fresh.

My Review:
I had a really good time reading this book! I loved the humour, and watching Emma getting into all sorts of crazy situations, but on the whole, contemporaries aren't really my thing, and while I enjoyed it, there wasn't quite enough in this book for it to reach the enjoyment that I usually get. I keep getting FOMO, and sometimes I'm surprised, which I have been this year. 

Some of the situations that Emma got into...yeah, I'm glad I'm not her, because the anxiety, the embarrassment, it makes me shrink away. Since it's not me, I can see the humour in what she was going through, though I didn't envy her.

This is mainly realistic, though slightly exaggerated, version of what life as a teenager is like, all the ups and downs, and it didn't shy away from sex and sexual acts, which is good for teenagers to read, for it to become normalized and not something bad, per se. 

There was more going on then just her romantic adventures, she had a good friend group, and a pretty solid relaitonship with her mom, so she has a support system, though the thing with her mom's dating profile, eek! 

I enjoyed reading this book, and I will continue on, because I need to see how things progress and end!
