Blurb:
These days, finding love online is as commonplace as ordering that coveted sweater. But back in 2003, the whole concept of Internet dating was still quite new, with a stigma attached to it that meant those who were willing to test the waters faced a fair amount of skepticism from friends and family.
Such is the case for Chloe Thompson, a restless 20-something tired of the typical dating scene and curious about what she might find inside her parents’ computer. With two serious but failed relationships behind her, Chloe isn’t even entirely sure what she’s looking for. She just knows that whatever it is, she wants to find it.
Based loosely on author K. J. Farnham’s real-life online dating experiences, Chloe’s foray into online dating involves a head-first dive into a world of matches, ice breakers and the occasional offer of dick pics, all while Chloe strives to shake herself of the ex who just refuses to disappear. Will she simultaneously find herself and “the one” online, or will the ever-growing pile of humorous and downright disastrous dates only prove her friends and family right? There’s only one way to find out…

My Review:
3.5/5 stars
Click Date Repeat is a book I didn’t think I’d like. I had read a nonfiction book about online dating before that I really got into, but didn’t like how it ended. This is the second online dating book I’d be reading, and the fact that it is fiction makes me love it more, and I think I’d be reading more online dating fiction.
Chloe, the main character with an always grumbling mother, judgy sister, unnoticeably calm step father, and an annoying brother, goes in search of love after 2 major failed relationships, when her coworker tells her about online dating.
This book shows interesting and annoying aspects of online dating, especially in chloe’s life. I laughed, felt sad, suspicious, angry at some of the characters with chloe.
Jess was my favorite of Chloe’s friends. She was free, didn’t take life too seriously and open minded.
And my least favorite character is shelly, chloe’s friend, she was self conceited, judgemental and annoying.
Each amusing characters made this book so worth reading.
My favorites out of all of her online dates is Patrick Packerfan, but he is the kind of guy most girls don’t fall for, so I totally agree with how it ended with him.
I’d love to read more books like this, but probably with shorter pages.
3.5/5 stars
I received a copy of this book from the author via Lola’s blog tour reviews in exchange for an honest review.
