"I've discovered the secret to successful singledom. I'm acting like a man. And it's working."
After breaking up with her boyfriend of, well, forever, Abigail Wood must learn how to be single from scratch. Her dating skills are abysmal, and she ricochets from disaster to disaster – until Robert, one of London's most notorious lotharios, agrees to coach her.
With his advice, she learns to navigate the bastard-infested waters of the bar scene and practices the art of being bulletproof. The new Abigail is cocky, calm, composed…but what happens when she meets her match?
A Girl Like You is the second book from Gemma Burgess. Her first book, The Dating Detox, was published in 2010 to rave reviews:

AWESOMENESS!!,
By
This review is from: A Girl Like You (Paperback)
I read this book non stop on a plane going home after a bad breakup. It was one of the smartest decisions I could have done, it cheered me up big time. The people sitting next to me had to ask me what was I reading that was so funny since I was literally laughing out loud for hours. This book not only is incredibly funny, but it also reminded me how much fun it is to be single and how it's not that scary to put yourself out there and enjoy the ride. Gemma has a way with words that makes you feel you're listening to your best friend telling you all about her week over drinks in a bar. The book is warm, smart, funny and you won't be able to put it down once you start reading it. If you haven't read her first novel "The Dating Detox" you are totally missing out!

A smile on every page - BRILLIANT!,
By
This review is from: A Girl Like You (Paperback)
This is the second of Gemma's books I have read and I've loved both. This book is just the perfect mix of female crazy (exposing our inner worries and illogical thoughts on dating and boys) mixed with lots of humour. I found myself not wanting to get off the packed tube every morning I was so engrossed in what Abigail (the main gal in the book) is getting up too. I now have that 'I wish I hadn't read it so quickly feeling' now I've finished it.Girls this book is perfect to make you smile before work or as holiday read. I read it post break up and it has great cheer up factor and surviving singledom stories that are so true to life! Buy it it's great!

Excellent Chick Lit,
By Tina "Tina" (Montreal, Quebec) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Girl Like You (Paperback)
I am such a fan of chick lit and Brit chick lit is THE best!A Girl Like You was a fun, entertaining read that is exactly what a good chick lit read should be. Of course, most chick lit books do stretch reality a little bit, but I don't care, A Girl Like You was so engrossing that I felt as though this one was way too short. Abigail has learned the hard way that some relationships are so definitely NOT forever. She needs to learn how to date again and this, of course, is one of the central premises of the book and frankly, the funniest part. I loved reading about Abigail's fears and tribulations with the "losers" she somehow ended up with. It makes me feel better about all the jerks I dated in my lifetime :) The story of Abigail slowly, but surely discovering her "dating feet" is charming and no story would be complete without the "right" guy - or is he really? I loved, loved this charming story.
