The Day I Shot Cupid

Hello, My Name Is Jennifer Love Hewitt and I'm a Love-aholic

By: Jennifer Love Hewitt

Narrated by: Jennifer Love Hewitt

For any woman who has ever bought a self-help book and wondered why she bothered (P.S. Now that I know he's just not that into me, where do I go from there? Yeah, thanks for that advice). Jennifer Love Hewitt is a self-proclaimed "love-aholic" and hopeless romantic (her middle name is Love, after all!). She has been lucky and unlucky in love, and lived to tell about it---and she's done it all in the spotlight. Much has been written about her love life---some true, most made up to sell magazines. Now Hewitt shares the real story of what she's learned navigating the dangerous dating waters.

In The Day I Shot Cupid, Hewitt offers her hard-won wisdom and tells us how to embrace love with both feet on the ground. First, we have to shoot Cupid. We have to believe that happily-ever-after is hard work---it's not all flowers and symphonies and floating hearts. Wise and wry and refreshingly honest, Hewitt talks about how to pick the right guy and how to know when to let the wrong ones go free, and she offers some surprising truths about the opposite sex. From twenty things to do after a breakup, to ten things to do before a date, to the perils of text flirting (Note: You are waiting. By the phone. For his response), Hewitt uses stories and dating secrets to illustrate the idiotic, romantic, crazy, depressing, hilarious, awkward, glorious moments we all experience in relationships.

Funny, quirky, and empowering, The Day I Shot Cupid deserves a place on every woman's nightstand, bookshelf, or coffee table, or tucked inside her oversized designer handbag.

Cute & Funny

Would you listen to The Day I Shot Cupid again? Why?

Yes, it really is a pick-me-up and can change a bad mood instantaneously.

Any additional comments?

Jennifer Love Hewitt has such a fresh, cute, innocent sounding voice that every situation she encountered I truly believed shocked her and knocked her on her butt. She doesn't have any stellar advice, although some of the little things she advises are good. It's a funny, quick listen. If you take this for what it is, a sweet story of her navigating through relationships in a breezy, comical way then you won't be disappointed. If you are looking for a true self-help find a man book, then this is not for you.

Jennifer is always 100 percent herself and that makes the book.

I liked that she is letting the audience know that this is what she has learned over her “serial” dating and that what it comes down to is what you are happy with and that loving yourself comes first. The only thing I wasn’t a fan of was her making it sound like the tips she was mentioning about guys was always the case and not the norm.

Fun and Quick

What did you like best about The Day I Shot Cupid? What did you like least?

I love that JLH appears so forthcoming with the insecurities she is plagued by. It gives us regular women a little comfort knowing that such a cute and successful young woman goes through similar "stuff". This makes for fun and quick listening.

Super Easy & Fun to listen to

This was my first download and so far has been my favorite. Jennifer Love Hewitt gives a personal account into her thoughts and feelings about Love and some practical advise. She's a beautiful woman whose voice is really easy to listen to. It never got annoying and there were times I caught myself laughing out loud at some of the things she said. I truly enjoyed this audiobook & recommend it as a "must buy". Hope you like it as much as I did :)

cute, cute, cute

JLH's book is as spunky as she is! Lots of laughs.. mostly cause we can relate with her experiences and because she tells them in such a humorous manner. So glad she read her own audio book as it somehow made everything much more relevant.
