This is a very funny book about the advantages for a woman to be single instead of with a partner. Overall it was a funny enjoyable book

Really a great short read. Karleen Dee compiles 101 simple reasons why it's awesome to be single. Funny and candid, it reminds readers of all the bliss that comes with being single.

I loved this little short read by Karleen Dee. She put the most realistic approach to being single. I laughed and agreed to most of the points she made! Just like in the book, you just need to remind yourself that you need to put yourself first and do activities that you want to do and when the time is right someone will pop into your life, when you're ready! Great read!

Although I may not agree with all the reasons, many of them really resonate back home, in a very hilarious way. If you end up single for a short or long term, why not have fun at least? That's a really relaxing way to approach being single, at any age, and take a break as long as you want until hitting the next victim! Strongly recommended if you are a in relationship too, because, never say never and better be ready to know what you may miss.

After yesterday's mention of dating hell, it was easy to choose why today's book to read would be 101 Reasons Why It's Great To Be Single. Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty independent, do a lot of really cool shit and don't need someone to complete me - but it might be nice to have someone to hang out with and do really cool shit with sometimes. (Only sometimes.) I have to say some of the 101 reasons are a bit of a stretch - but some of them were things I already know - like Guilt-Free Adventures. Want to run off across the country to see Hanson? Cool. No significant other to run it by. (Though lets be real, even if I did end up with a boyfriend - if he tried to tell me no he'd be dumped so fast). A Silent Night - no snoring - is something that I really didn't think about. I cannot sleep if someone in the room with me is snoring. Do I need to start adding this to my dating app profiles? Swipe left if you snore? Yikes.

This book definitely put a smile on my face and made me realize that I shouldn't be in any sort of rush to find that special someone. I just got a new phone and I didn't reinstall ANY dating apps. It's ok to take some time for me!

I received a free e-copy of this book in order to write this review, I was not otherwise compensated.

First, I want to thank Karleen Dee, AuthorHouse for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

101 Reasons Why It’s Great To Be Single by Karleen Dee cracked me up laughing from the very beginning of the book. I myself have been single for a few years now and was very interested to see what this book was all about. I was so glad that I did. It hit the nail on the head with some great points why I am glad that I am single. Some points hit very close to home where others not so much. It is a really short read that is great for anyone that is going through a break up or a reminder of how lucky you really are to be single. This is a truly must read!

Nothing speaks better to me than a good tittle_101 Reasons Why It’s Great to Be Single.
Karleen Dee in her book bullet pointed 101 reasons in her opinion are great to be single. Normally when matters on relationship are brought up, they are dealt with all seriousness but Karleen addressed the issue in a fun and lively way. She joked about the benefits of be single in a way that was relatable. You read her works and can’t help but agree with her on some points she raised.
She preached self-love and acceptance in her book. Why have a heart breaker when you can have you?
Though it a short and concise I would have appreciated it if the points where detailed with little stories or personal experience. Stuff like that are really interesting to read because when people hear your side of the story they sort of give you a better listening ear and remember your book quicker. The brief nature of it made it a little boring it was like reading a list from google with no explanation.
If you just came out of a sour relationship you may want this book at work to keep you together

Singlehood comes with so much taboo and bad press, that I have been living in a constant state of dissonance: I feel great about being single on most days but then I hear how awful it is and start to doubt myself.
I was watching How to be Single the other day and it resonated with me. So when I came across this book, why wouldn't I delve deeper into the matter?

This was a really fast read for me, partly because it was, indeed, short and partly because I really found a lot of points valid such that I would complete them.
It's a fun read, overall.
