Book Description

Publication Date: 7 May 2012

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?

First Catch Your Husband is an entertaining, touching and thought-provoking account of life on the front line of dating. It's an inspiring tale for anyone who's ever been, or wanted to be, in love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely! 14 July 2012
By Iguanodon
Format:Paperback
This manages to be simultaneously funny and touching - and best of all, it's a beautifully-written and easy read. Agree with a previous reviewer, definitely not just for single women! The dilemmas and insecurities are pretty universal, and plenty for chaps to ponder from this bird's-eye (sorry...) view of the dating landscape.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic! 7 July 2012
By Rizlet
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
A fabulous tale of dating in your 30s. The author explores the highs and lows of trying to find a mate at a time of life when meeting the love of your life through conventional routes no longer appears possible. The book includes a combination of the author's dating experiences (and a number of laugh out loud moments!) plus an exploration of the reality of being single in your late 30s. This book is honest, thought provoking and fantastically funny! Read it whether you are a man or a woman and irrespective of your romantic status.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant insight! 24 May 2012
By vpm
Format:Paperback
Great summer read, now that summer is finally here! Feels like the author must have been
witness to my own life's travails. Really entertaining but also brings up an important hot-topic for all girls over a certain age - having a great career delays the whole marriage/baby thing. A good read for single and married girls - and maybe even their very lucky husbands.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet, Warm and Funny 17 May 2012
By Amanda
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is perfect for a summer read, it's a really accurate observation of the trials and tribulations of dating and being single in your 30s but doesn't come across as bitter, man-hating or resentful of couples. I really found myself liking the author with her honesty, relentless optimism and resourceful nature. Plenty of laugh out loud moments and some quite painful ones too, I couldn't put it down and so wanted her to find a husband (will not give that bit away though!) You'll love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this book! 7 May 2012
By Kats
Format:Paperback
I was recommendeded this book by a friend and really, really enjoyed it. It's funny, entertaining, very readable and also very honest about the highs and lows of dating. I think this book would be perfect to take away on holiday and isn't just for single people - I bet lots of people in relationships will read it to find out how life is on the other side!

4.0 out of 5 stars Funny and thought-provoking 25 May 2013
By Me
Format:Paperback
This book is a very honest, funny and sometimes heartbreaking record of one woman's attempts to find love. It is a partly a catalogue of hysterical dating disasters and disappointments and partly an in-depth look at how important relationships are and what it means to be single, when all around you appear to be paired off. I felt it was unflinchingly honest which made it difficult to read at times, but given how well-written and moving it is, it's worth persisting.
