Age, Sex, Location

Melissa Pimentel Penguin,

€11.50; ebook, €6.49

After moving to London from Portland, Oregon, American Lauren Cunningham is lamenting her lack of potential suitors, so she decides to tackle the city’s single scene head-on by turning her love life into a scientific experiment.

She dedicates herself to following the rules of one renowned dating guide a month, no matter how crazy or incredibly ridiculous it makes her look. A hilarious and refreshingly honest dating romp, Age, Sex, Location will make you chuckle and cringe in equal measure.

Witty, rude and a lot of fun, while it’s certainly not a classic piece of literature and the protagonist Lauren occasionally verges into annoying territory, it’s an entertaining escape for when you fancy some light reading.
