review 1: I got this Stakeout for Love by Christie Walker Bos and I ended up giggling. It’s not really that I can relate because it was more that the characters are quite aged. Ok I’m being mean.So the story goes around online dating and what is reality.Funny as it may, people usually either do not know that they were looking for love until they bump into someone or they get envious with the mushiness around them or just being lonely is enough of a reason. Going on a blind date has its quirks as friends would refer other friends and it would sometimes end up really awkward if things simply didn’t go well or just perfect since friends supposedly know their friends. If you are like an onion and have a lot of layers then I tell you now… run the opposite way. It’s just a waste... more of time.With the new technological developments, online dating sites popped in like pimples on a teenager’s face in the market. You have to admit, even though human beings need physical interaction, we have easily slipped in that online interaction is almost as equal as the real one given that we are busy with our normal day to day routine. Not only that, as children, we were taught not to talk to strangers. But as we grew older and hopefully more mature, talking to strangers does have its perks as they provide a different perspective and better yet a non prejudice conversation.In Stakeout for Love, Skylar also learned that with technology comes the power of deceiving in online dating websites as well. People would upload photos taken years before they looked sagged and ugly, or write fanciful trivia about them that is far from reality, resulting to eyeballs (EBs), or dates as it was referred, so disappointing that she gave up.With loving friends who know her well, brainstorming, and a help from an online dating website, Skylar’s friends picked out prospects for her to meet without her knowing and devised a way to weed out her potential date. They pulled up in a car close to the ron dez vous point, and as the title states, they whip out a binocular and check each guy that went in with a rose. I guess you can say it’s pretty much inspired by You Got Mail of John Hanks and Meg Ryan. To filter more, Skylar’s friend, Cath, volunteers to wait in the meeting place, which is a coffee shop, and strike a small conversation with the guy. It’s really amazing how first impressions strikes you and this book really does tell you how true it may be.I’m not going to spill the whole detail but Skylar does find the right guy to date with.This book is a good read for 15 – 30 minutes while you’re having a coffee. Story wise and structure, it’s pretty ok. I have to admit. I’m pretty envious on how thoughtful her friends are. If you think this is a book right up your tea break alley, download it. Nothing to regret really.
review 2: Stakeout for Love is a book about a girl named Sklar. She has trouble dating and her friend Cath decides its time to help. She creates a stakeout consitsing of two things, binoculors and donuts. Cath helps Sklar find the guy who is perfect for her. The message in this book is that friends are alwasy there to help, even if you don't wnat them to. Another message is don't give up, youy will find that perfect somebody if you keep trying. I learned that friends can be tough but that they always mean well. I also learned that working hard and never giving up can lead you to get something that you may really want. This was an okay book. I was kind of upset that this book was really short. Ity literally took me five minutes to read. This book connects to me because my friends always push me to do things that I don't want to do. They always mean well and tell me to never give up which leads to good things. less
