30 Guys in 30 Days

I kind of like the idea for Clud to meet 30 guys in 30 days. She even counts talking to pizza guy as target of the day. I would certainly not count that in~ It has a twist in the plot. I enjoy every chapter and line of this book. Rock on!!

Claudia is a college freshman. Having just dumped her boyfriend, she is ready to date and flirt. The only problem is she doesn't know any boys and turns into a nervous wreck around them. She devises a plan to flirt with one boy a day for thirty days. This way she is sure to find Mr. Right. This novel is great! It is a cute, fun read. I think it is completely relateable. It is tough to get back into the dating scene after having a boyfriend for several years. The purpose of "target practice" is about teaching yourself to talk to people despite awkwardness. Claudia definitely has some embarassing moments but lives through them. I found humour in the situations that arise. I also liked the Claudia's character growth. At the beginning, she has very little self esteem. By the end her self esteem is much higher and she has no problem talking to guys. Basically, this book is about the boys we love and the ones that drive us nuts. It also encourages the reader to go for what they want in life and to never stop believing in true love.

Claudia is a girl who lost her touch... in love... she dumped her high school boyfriend. Charlie, is another friend of hers. she got an idea for 30 guys in 30 days...its like a "target practice"

College freshman, Claudia Clarkson, is ready for a change. After all, she's finally away from home, and, now that she's a college freshman, she's decided to try something new. She's just dumped her high school boyfriend, Drew, who was a good guy, but so...safe, and now Claudia's looking to find someone new. Someone who makes her swoon, and isn't so predictable. Which is how Gabe enters the picture. Gabe is one of the editors at the school paper that Claudia starts writing for, and while he seems perfect to Claudia, he also seems...attached. So Claudia and her new college roommate, Charlie, come up with the idea of "target practice." Claudia must talk to at least one guy every single day, for 30 days, so, in the end, she has chatted up 30 different blokes. Hopefully, during that time, she will have found someone who tickles her fancy. Unfortunately, when Mr. Perfect doesn't come along, Claudia realizes that she truly has no game, and may be left alone. Forever. I have read every book in the SIMON & SCHUSTER ROMANTIC COMEDY series, but I quickly realized that 30 GUYS IN 30 DAYS was my favorite, when I found that I could relate to Claudia's character perfectly - except for the whole "target practice" thing. Claudia is a hilarious new addition to the teen fiction genre, and the laugh-out-loud funny e-mails she sends to her sister and dorm-mate throughout the book will cause all readers to giggle non-stop. With an array of quirky characters - who range from downright retro, to downright weird - Micol Ostow's 30 GUYS IN 30 DAYS will help everyone figure out how to get their flirt on. A crash course in Firting 101 for the flirt-challenged! Erika Sorocco Book Review Columnist for The Community Bugle Newspaper

i will admit that i was dreading reading this book. i had saw the 3 star rating, and it greatly discouraged me. however my love for the simon pulse romantic comedies, couldn't let me. i finally picked it up and read it in just a few days. Claudia is trying to come out of her shell by playing "target practice." just trying to say hi to a guy a day. she has some mishaps, and meets some great guys in the process...a great fun easy read.
