The Ex-Boyfriend's Handbook by Matt Dunn

Book Description
"It's not me-it's you."

After ten years, Jane's had enough of Edward Middleton. "You've let yourself go," she tells him. "So I'm letting you go too."

Determined to get her back, Edward realizes he must learn how to make women want him again. But right now, he's the kind of man who puts the "ex" in "sexy." One thing is certain: if he's going to be Jane's Mr. Right, he needs to turn himself around. From Atkins to Waxing, Edward begins working his way through the makeover alphabet.

But is a change in appearance what Jane really wants? Can cuddly Teddy really become sexy Eddie? Or is there more to the dating game than meets the eye?


My thoughts
Edward’s girlfriend Jane leaves him after ten years. Why? He let himself go and she needs time to think. So Jane takes off for Tibet. Edward feels sorry for himself then with the help of his friends he decides to change himself to win her back. In the course of the story he makes some dramatic changes including his wardrobe, physical appearance, his car and even his job. But I had a feeling how the story would end and it didn’t leave me fulfilled. What I enjoyed about the story was that I felt that I was in England going through the motions with Edward. Not as funny as I thought it would be but then maybe I don’t understand British humor.

Disclosure: The book was received for review from the publisher. I received no compensation for my thoughts.
