Product Description

Product Description

Just 99p for a limited time!

A funny, fresh take on all those frustrating male habits… for fans of Jenny Colgan, Kirsty Greenwood and Talli Roland

‘This is a great debut novel which will keep you entertained and involved right to the last page’ chicklitclub.com

Molly loves her little brother Sam, but it seems other women just don’t feel the same . . . Sam’s average relationship lasts seven weeks. And that’s when he really tries.

So Molly decides to give Sam a woman’s point of view in the complicated game of dating. And when a freshly made-over Sam quickly meets – and keeps − the love of life, all his single friends are soon lining up to experience the Bad Boyfriends’ Bootcamp. For Molly, it presents a brilliant business opportunity. She’s providing a valuable service to these witless blokes, after all. Together with best friend and local fashionista Rachael and the gorgeous but deadly gym instructor Josie, Molly is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to reforming bad boyfriends.

Fixing other people's problems also provides Molly with a handy distraction from her own. Namely, an over-achieving mother, a non-existent love life and a very sorry-looking overdraft. Add into the mix Sam’s best friend Patrick, who seems oddly immune to Molly’s makeover techniques but determined to hang around nonetheless, and it soon becomes one problem too many . . .

5.0 out of 5 stars Original, engaging and laugh out loud! 9 July 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book by new author Poppy Dolan has lots to recommend it - believable, funny characters and a great, original story that lends itself very well to introducing a whole heap of potential heroes. When Molly helps out her hopeless-at-romance brother Sam find the love of his life, she realises that she can use her talents to benefit the wider population - turn guys into brilliant boyfriends, which means happier girlfriends, and turn herself into a successful businesswomen in the process. There are loads of great characters who have their own stories, so you end up rooting not only for Molly but for Rachael and Josie too - and of course all the guys being put through their paces and hoping to find love at the end.

There are a couple of scenes which really stood out, and I think everyone will want to have a Molly-style New Year's Eve after reading this book! It is so well written that it had me laughing out loud, gripping the cushion-covers in panic and grinning like a Cheshire Cat into my Kindle. I read it in two days - I couldn't put it down. Some Chick-lit books are funny and light and entertaining, but leave you a bit disappointed overall, like a Flying Saucer sweet without any sherbet in it. The Bad Boyfriends Bootcamp is utterly satisfying, enough twists and turns that the ending is earned, and leaves you laughing (and perhaps even a bit teary) with delight. I loved this book, and I can't wait for Poppy Dolan's next novel. Oh, and I defy anyone who reads this - male or female - not to have a crush on the hero at the end!

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny and Smart. An Absolute Pleasure! 10 July 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is easily one of the best books I've read this year and I read A WHOLE LOT!
The character of Molly was a pleasure to spend some time with - she is warm and sweet and smart and self deprecating. I couldn't help but root for her and her latest business venture (A bootcamp for desperate men who need some serious help with their love lives) to work. Especially since Molly's mum Cleo is this uber professional high-flyer who can do no wrong and Molly longs to impress her.
Not only is the concept fresh and clever (would make a fab film, actually), the plot is fast-paced and extremely well written.
The Bad Boyfriends Bootcamp is a perfect romantic comedy in every sense of the term. There are hilarious friends (especially Healthy Josie who just cracked me up) and plenty of fellas (hot ones, cute ones, scruffy ones - take your pick!) but there is also plenty of drama - I loved that I could open my kindle and feel confident that I was going to be entertained with something juicy and page-turner-y
Ooh, I should mention the banter too - this book had it by the bucket load. Some of the quips and jokes made me snort.
I would highly recommend this book if you like your chick lit clever, warm-hearted and with an extra large dose of funny.

The book's story line was ok, if you just want a basic lightweight chick lit, but the amount of errors in the book were really off putting. Time and time again I had to re-read sentences because of the very basic typing errors, spelling mistakes, and other stupid and irritating flaws. An automatic spell-checker will not suffice if you actually want people to buy your books and read them (and then say nice things about them). Surely it is worth getting someone that can actually read to proof read a book before trying to sell it??? And this copy was supposedly updated to eliminate typos so God only knows what it was like before!
I will definitely not be buying any more of Ms Dolan's poorly presented work, and I hope she has earned enough so far to employ a proof reader next time.
