Currently riding at number ten in the Lovereading chart is honorary Trashionista, Matt Dunn, with his fourth novel, Ex-Girlfriends United, which is, in his words, a sort of sequel to The Ex-Boyfriend's Handbook.
The Ex-Boyfriend's Handbook was shortlisted for the 2006 Romantic Novel of the Year Award and the Melissa Nathan Award for Romantic Comedy so a sort of sequel is very exciting news indeed. See over the cut for what it's all about.
Ever wish there was a website where you could read reviews about someone you’re thinking of dating?
Dan Davis doesn’t. Because thanks to SlateYourDate.com, Z-list TV personality and womaniser Dan isn’t having much luck with girls any more. Okay, so he’s treated a few women badly in his time, but that’s just what men like Dan do, isn’t it?
But best friend Edward Middleton thinks it’s a great idea. Dumped in the past for being the typical clueless bloke, and determined not to suffer the same fate with new girlfriend Sam, Ed sees it as the perfect place to find out how to keep Sam happy.
Faced with the prospect of a lifetime of singledom, Dan sets off on a hilarious quest to track down his ex-girlfriends to find out how he can put things right. But will a man like Dan ever truly change – especially if the biggest change means actually listening to a woman? Meanwhile, Ed’s awkward attempts to move things forward with Sam make him realise that when it comes to relationships, unless you deal with your past, you can’t have much of a future…
The boys from The Ex-Boyfriend’s Handbook are back. And just as hopeless.
