Delilah Darling thought that she was going to eventually find the right guy. When her magic number hits twenty, and she wakes up next to her slime ball of a boss, she is consumed with guilt and regret. Thinking that all will be fine if she can find her future prince among the twenty, she sets about to find all of them. As her search takes her to all four corners of the country, she simply cannot believe where some of her former loves have ended up. With one locked up in a mental institute, another a contented priest, one who is happy with his boyfriend, and another one tragically dead, Delilah doesn’t know what to do. With the help of her sexy Irish neighbor, Colin and her younger sister’s upcoming shotgun wedding, she realizes that things do in fact happen for a reason.As she invites this new found calmness to change her life, she finds true love where she least expects it.
This is a hilariously funny story which every modern woman can appreciate as it simply hits all the right buttons. The characters are lovable, Delilah’s quest for the truth admirable, the constant flow of drama enough to keep one on edge, and the comedy thoroughly entertaining. Simply stated, Ms. Bosnak shines in her debut novel and I look forward to seeing her next one. A brilliant example of chick-lit at its finest!
