An excellent read. I loved it from the get go. I love Matt's style of writing. Great entertaining read.

I love Matt Dunn. He has a way of blending humor and sadress that feels so real. This story doesn't disappoint.

Funny and romantic beach read. Perfect for relaxion and enjoyment.

A bit predictable, but overall a quick fun enjoyable read.

About a chapter in I knew this book was not for me and I put it down. After requesting it I realized this had happened ones before with one of his books and I'm sorry I didn't realize before I requested it., Its not fun to give a bad rating when Its my own personal taste that is the problem, not the book. The cover is appealing, the synopsis has me hooked and then.. there are no sparks. His writing just doesn't sit with me and no matter how much i'm dissecting my brain as to why.. I don't have a better answer than that its just not my cup of tea writing.

Matt Dunn is a great author of very easy-reading chick lit, which you can completely absorb yourself in without too much thinking.

13 Dates was a very enjoyable read, however I found the main character, Noah, to be extremely irritating as he was very socially awkward and quite calamitous. The idea is that it takes 13 dates to fall in love, so the plot centres around these dates. Some of the dates and things that happened I found to be more on the comical side rather than on the side of believable romantic fiction, which was slightly off-putting.

My main irk about this book, was the punctuation used (or NOT used!) There was some sentences that were so long they consisted of almost half a page. There were some sentences that included so many commas, that by the time you got to the end of the sentence, you couldn't remember the start of it. I find Matt's use of punctuation a little questionable, and he has a habit of writing these ridiculously long sentences. However, I did enjoy his writing beyond that, so overlooked it.

If you're looking for a bit of romantic fiction to absorb yourself in or a quick holiday read, this will tick the boxes, if you can deal with the predictability of the story line!

I didn't think I would enjoy a romance written by a man, but I absolutely loved this one. It was funny and sweet, the character of Noah was totally engaging, and it was utterly unpredictable. Bravo!!

I laughed out loud (i refuse to LOL!), and I cried. I loved it!

Very unique story. It is refreshing to see a different type of romance.

This was a cute book, but it did not catch my attention or pique my interest. I finished it, but it just seemed a little flat. I think if the character development had been more, it would have greatly improved the book.

This was so cute, I really got into it and basically read it in one sitting I couldn't put it down!

On the way to a blind date Noah stops in Starbucks for coffee and falls in love. He meets Angel who is a straight talking independent woman but she’s not interested in dating, Noah’s co-worker insists it takes 13 dates for someone to fall in love and Noah decides that is what he will try.

The story follows Noah’s attempts at dating Angel and the resulting mayhem of those dates.
This is a lovely story told from Noah’s point of view, his attempts at getting Angel to fall in love with him, the reason for her reluctance and how she lives her life in her own way day to day, it had a good ending where you thought one thing was going to happen and something completely different occurred. A lighthearted enjoyable read.

I've been a fan of Matt Dunn's other books and this one did not disappoint. Noah's friend Marlon tells him that it takes 13 dates to fall in love with someone, so when Noah meets the intriguing Angel, he's on a mission to see if Marlon's theory is true. It's a fun romantic comedy with a few twists.

This was a quick read with a good story at its heart. It was somewhat predictable at times and revolved around a somewhat overused relationship trope, but i was enjoyable throughout. I'd recommend it as a quick beach read.

DNF. Sadly this one isn't working out for me. Likely a case of it's not you it's me. .

Loved this perfect summer romance read. My biggest complaint is that the release date is so far into summer vacation season (August 15th). Noah meets Angel in an awkward Starbucks encounter and proceeds to woo her over what his friend deems the amount of time it takes to fall in love: 13 dates. Charming read with an interesting relationship twist (and a few comic twists as well). Perfect for lazy summer reading.
