Thirty, Flirty, and Forever Alone

De: Christine Riccio

Narrado por: Helen Laser

27 Dresses meets Crazy Ex-Girlfriend in this witty, serendipitous rom-com with a magical twist from New York Times bestselling author Christine Riccio.

When your name literally means “forever alone,” it takes a lot of positive self-talk to stay optimistic in the hellscape that is dating. But on the cusp of thirty, Rikki Romona is determined to find her person.

Columnist, therapist, podcaster, entrepreneur—Rikki is an overachiever who thrives on schedules. She can absolutely handle two weddings in two days, and lock down someone to drag along as a plus-one.

And yet, spoiler: She doesn’t.

Rikki finds herself flying hopelessly solo at a themed wedding in New Jersey. A lonely Rapunzel waiting for her Flynn.

Enter Reed Tyler: writer, podcast producer, wannabe actor. Surprisingly single with startling blue eyes, he seems perfect. The catch? He lives kind of far away, so dating him would be a bit of a hike. Like an intense, all-the-way-across-the-country hike.

After one unforgettable night together, Rikki’s sure this is the end. But as she braces herself for heartache, the universe, it seems, has other plans…

“This one’s for all the leather-jacket-wearing wary girls who love their humor with a side of real talk. Christine Riccio’s Thirty, Flirty, and Forever Alone is like a Zennial Bridget Jones with just the perfect splash of magic.”—Ali Rosen, bestselling author of Unlikely Story

so funny

I wasn't sure if I would like this book at first. There are parts that are completely unbelievable. But I was listening while grocery shopping and I was gasping for breath for 2 parts (streaking & pants) I was laughing so hard. I wished the ending was a bit longer, it felt rushed.

It’s was ok

In the beginning, the first 19 chapters was interesting after chapter 20 I just feel like the story of the plot everything went downhill.

pretty funny

the first few chapters was nothing but F bombs, then it got kinda "magical" which I felt could do without, but I loved thebhumor of the book. it was a cute one. quick listen. the narrator spoke clearly

Funny story.

I liked the first date. it made me remember parts of dates I had in my life. I too was whimsical on dates and had wonderful dates. I read half the book Intel I couldn't stand her swearing anymore. I always felt the 'F' word was for stupid people who couldn't articulate there feelings, or maybe a lazy person. Ricco is supposed to be smart and full of life, why does she swear so much? I would have given the story five stars but this is so disappointing. Also she works for the newspaper. WHY?

Funny and moving

I’m a big fan of Christine from YouTube and Those Forking Fangirls and this is her best book yet! It was so hilarious and silly at times but brought so much heart and made me cry several times. Love seeing this exploration of self and what makes a good partner.
