review 1: cerita mba Jane ttg romance, humor dan friendship selalu bikin ketawa...tapi ada yg beda dg cerita ini...Kepergian Jamie ke amerika selatan, meninggalkan Samantha di Inggris, seharusnya ga bikin Samantha atau sam terus2an menangis setiap menitnya...masalahnya, hubungan mereka sudah jalan 6 tahun, dan satu sama lain sudah nyaman dg kekurangan msg2....tapi Jamie yg punya karakter suka bertualang dan travelling memutuskan utk mengikuti nalurinya, alih2 menerima jabatan promosi dari perusahaan telepon terkemuka di inggris...jamie tau, kalo dia mengajak sam ikut, sam akan meng-iyakan dan menyesali keputusan yg dibuatnya dg meninggalkan kotanya dan keluarganya....jadilah mereka "putus" yg dlm hal ini ga bisa sam terima...stlh konsul dg kedua sahabatnya, sam memutuskan utk membua... moret jamie ga jadi pergi dg strategi "pura2 move on" #grin#well...strategi itu hampir berhasil...tapi jamie tetap dg keputusannya. alhasil sam terpaksa memakai strategi terakhir, "mencari" pacar baru...lucunya, Ben, yg jadi cowok ini, pernah memergoki sam melakuin hal yg memalukan LOL....untungnya interaksi mereka berjalan lancar, dan tujuan sam memanas-manasi Jamie berhasil....dan Ben akhirnya tau tujuan sam.....cerita bergulir dg sam yang akhirnya galau memilih Jamie atau Ben...komenku: dalam prosesnya memilih itu, asli bikin geram dg tingkah jamie dan sam......untung aja, cerita kedua sahabat sam dan keluarganya membuat pengalih perhatian yang bagus...dari sanalah, sam akhirnya melakukan hal yg keduga. 4 bintang
review 2: I felt connected to Samantha’s character and her experiences in the dating world. She came across as very relatable and the romance between her and Ben became the heart of the book. There were some definite laughs and poignant moments too. Ben was a lovely knight in shining armour kind of character. I found we never really got to know him in depth but I liked this because it made his character mysterious and us as readers could put him on a pedal stool a bit.Ellies character didn’t work as nicely unfortunately. Although she was more of a background character we were introduced to her alcohol addiction. I felt the lack of insight made her character unrealistic.The book flowed nice and evenly throughout which is common in Costellos writing style. The ending worked for me because you could come away with your own thoughts and conclusions.I gave this book four stars because I loved Costellos wit and warmth. I loved the theme of ‘All the single ladies’. It makes a great summer holiday read and interesting if you are single (or not!). less
