Grab Instantly 20 Times A Lady Outlined By Karyn Bosnak Published As Interactive EBook

so I only really read this book because I have seen the film and thought I'd give the book a chance, Not gonna lie, It wasn't until chapterorthat I really became hooked, I loved how it was like you were in the mind of Delilah and how there was use of slang to put you on a 'friend' level with her, It was a really easy book to read and seemed very relaxed, there was no parts of the story that I wanted to rush through to get to a 'good bit', which is very rare nowadays.


Another bonus for the story is that it was so easy to relate to Delilah and the emotions are really well written into the plot, I wouldn't say it was so much of a rollercoaster ride but more of a nice sunday drive,

If you're looking for a nice easy chicklit read with a couple of naughty giggles thrown in, this is definitely the book to choose,

I wanted to get back into the romance genre since I've put it on hold on for almost a year but, . . this was not the place to start up again,

This sadly, was just not the read for me, Amusing

It was a light read,very funny but predictable, I would read more from this author, I would definitely recommend it This book was absolutely hysterical! Delilah Darling reads an article about the average number of men a woman sleeps with in her lifetime, She is already far over this number atand decides thatwill be her cutoff point, When Delilah is let go from her job, and waste her numberon her revolting exboss, she decides to put her severance pay to good use and track down all the men she has slept with.
If she finds one of them worthy of a relationship, she can keep her number atwithout going over her limit and suffering a life of celibacy,
Delilah has some experiences that made me laugh out loud in her travels across the U, S. ! From buying an adorable little pup to ending up in a mental hospital, there is not one stop Delilah makes that doesnt turn into a comedic adventure, It doesnt help that she has such a delusional naivety, Its not until she is back home and at her sisters wedding that Delilah discovers everything she ever wanted was right in front of her all along, And to top it off, she finds out that her number was actually one short of what she thought! I would highly recommend this book for anyone looking for a funny, original read.
Karyn Bosnak another book that I will be picking up as soon as possible!
I like it, thats what I know when I bought this book, I just never knew that I am going to love it this much, This definitely tops my “to read again” list,

First thing to appreciate about the novel is the authors creativity, Every page is like sneaking in and taking part to the life of Delilah Darling, feeling as if it was your voice speaking for her, The next thing to put emphasis on is the fact that Karyn Bosnak is hilarious and definitely deserves the “superb” remark for her first novel, Although, there may be minor flaws as to the way she wrote it, the structure and creative setting of characters have somehow concealed it, thus, allow readers to feel more relax and literally laugh page after page.
Some parts made me tearyeyed as well some “can relate to” parts, It also felt nice to have a Filipino touch in it there is a special page, It may not be flattering but it just amazes me how some foreign authors were able to embed it in their novel like it was some kind of a French word.
I wonder how shed learn it,

times a lady is more than just “the number”, Its about finding the courage to humbly accept failure and be enlightened afterwards that really there is nothing to feel regret about, It was inspiring to realize that mistakes make up the better person we are now and is bound to become,
I probably will never get over Roger and his braided belt, Delilahs insane mom Kitty, Eva the yorkie with a lesbian haircut, Grandpa kicking Patsy and Colin and his abs long sigh.


It is a bit naughty but assumed safe to read for the not so naughty, It is definitely a musthave to every chicklit fan, I cant wait to watch the movie version of this “Whats your number”
cute beginning, . . got a little crazy in the middle and predictable ending, none the less would be a great book for the beach, . now i need to see the movie! I am very happy with the book and even though I watched the movie long back I just wanted to read the book to get to the missing details of the story.


Trust me thus romcom Book makes me smile throghout, but it also manages to make me cry at te end when the girl finally finds her true love before she has crossed her maximum number of boyfriends.


This is recommended to all of those who love reelworld

fantasy love and do not mind sloppy ends!!! After reading this book, I've decided that What's Your Number is a miracle of a movie, having achieved what is nigh impossible for book adaptations and actually making the story ten times better.
It is one of the only reasons I've rated this book as high as I have,

But first, the good points or what the book did do better than the movie:
The companywide layoff makes much more sense than the random firing, Not that I don't get what the movie was trying to do with that, but the fact that Delilah not sure why the movie chose to steal another character's name from this book, but it doesn't really matter, so it's not a point of favor or criticism for either of them has severance pay makes the idea that she's going weeks without worrying about looking for a job fit together a lot better.

One of the only things I could've done without in the movie is the "chase him down to confess your love" bit at the end, and though I didn't actually like the overthetop public display in the book, either, I do appreciate the effort to avoid that, even if it does make more sense for Delilah to approach Colin after having rejected him than for him to continue after someone who already turned him down.


Okay, on to my list of complaints, starting with the nitpicky:
My book is just riddled with copy errors, I was tempted to break out a red pen to make fixes, and I never, ever write in my books,
First person, present tense just drives me insane,

Moving on to story criticisms:
The embarrassment humor in this is actually worse than the movie, in my opinion, so congratulations to them for dialing it back.
I don't know why chick lit books feel the need to mimic romantic comedies on that okay, I do know why, but it simply doesn't work in this format I'd actually argue in either format, but I know some people do enjoy it.
It is just much more humorous to see someone mindlessly run outside in their underwear than it is to be forced to imagine it,
a. People dying Also not funny, but more on that later,
As someone who watched the movie first, I of course spent the book rooting for Colin and Delilah, but if I were coming into it this book fresh, I don't know that I would.
The movie made the wise decision to eliminate Michelle, who served little purpose but to tell Delilah she's crazy for doing this and to help her find a job at the end, which resulted not only in a more authentic, closer relationship between Delilah and Daisy, but in a much more developed relationship between Delilah and Colin.
Because there is no one else to talk to, he serves as her guide through this journey, We actually get to know him and see them establish a rapport and a bond that gets you to believe in their romance when it happens, In the book, they speak a few times and spend a weekend together, Oh, and he has nice abs and legs,
Jake Adams from the movie was just a much better way to end Delilah's arc than Nate, While Jake is clearly an elitist snob, that's really all you can accuse him of in the movie, Nate, on the other hand, is a racist serial cheater, the classic romcom "other guy" intended to make you root for the end couple, The trope may be tried and true, but it is tired at this point and especially in this story, If it's all about accepting who you are, then the relationship should end on that mature note: "You're a good person, you're just not good for me, " And not that this is all important, but it makes the ultimate choice more romantic, more genuine, because they're not being chosen by default simply because the other person is awful.


Finally, on to my favorite section, my liberal ramblings:
Edward, Daisy's fiancé in the book, is Black and Jewish, This is awesome, or would be, except for the underlying sense of ickiness I got every time a character patted themselves on the back for being okay with this, the fact that Delilah's first question is regarding "that stereotype," and the classic insistence that Delilah and Daisy's mom is "not racist, but.
" Now, the fact that she tries to educate herself is great, I'm not taking anything away from that, and it does, thankfully, ebb off over time except for the crosses, ugh, but I couldn't shake the feeling she's the type to turn Edward into her minority shield "my soninlaw is Black/Jewish, so I can't be racist!", and that absolutely irks me.

Once again, having gay representation in this book would be awesome, Except for diving instantly into the Bury Your Gays trope, and not only is there that death and that attempt to make that death funny, but then there's the only person of color on Delilah's list.
I reiterate: people dying is not funny, and especially not when it's focused on communities that already have a higher mortality rate than average,
Mocking people with disabilities the woman with the lisp is not funny and had no place or purpose in this book,
It is Not Great to spread the idea that drug rehabilitation centers are bland, lifeless, unhelpful places staffed by people who don't even have enough expertise to recognize that someone is not actually detoxing, or that psychosis stemming from drug use is funny, because look, he thinks he's in the movie Titanic.


Ultimately, this is just an incredibly rare instance in which I'd say: "Watch the movie, don't read the book, ".
