First Catch Your Husband - Sarah Bridge (2012)
This memoir relates journalist Sarah's journey in the dating world, trying to find the man of her dreams and soul mate to finally capture her heart. I found this an interesting concept for a book, and feel that whether you're single or in a relationship you'll be able to relate to it. Although in places I found it to be repetitive, it was a funny and light-hearted read that will keep you turning the pages to find out how Sarah succeeds in her quest of finding a husband. (KD)
First Catch Your Husband is the story of London journalist Sarah Bridge putting herself out on the front line of dating. The summary says: "Sarah Bridge is smart, successful . . . and single. As a newspaper journalist, she has a hectic day job, a busy social life and is perfectly happy with both. But something - or someone - is missing. Embarking on a quest to find her soulmate, she tries everything: from speed-dating and wine-tasting to Scottish dancing and singles holidays, island-hopping and army assault courses to self-help books and fortune-telling. Whether climbing mountains in Morocco or swimming at midnight in the Caribbean, Sarah is on a mission to meet Mr Right. But will anything actually work? And how will she feel after putting herself, and her heart, out there?"
