Review: SINGLE IN SOUTHEAST TEXAS by Gretchen Johnson

Recently divorced after learning of her husband’s infidelity, a woman lives out her new single life in Beaumont, TX. At first lonely while trying to adjust to her new surroundings, Paige begins to meet men and soon learns the odds and ends of dating in Southeast Texas.

“As usual, my optimistic approach to life was failing me. I could have been relaxing at home with a movie and a large plate of pasta, but instead I was fielding a series of uncomfortable encounters with strangers and drinking a flat Coke.” (32) Ah, Adventures in Dating.

Full of clever wit and sensitivity, story is a well-written and insightful account of one woman’s dating journey. I just enjoyed her wry, sarcastic dialogue as well as the disaster dates with these so-called men. I have to say that a lot of these guys were just crazy! The best thing was that each guy provided a lesson for her, like stay from short-tempered guys that go off the handle on you over a 16-month calendar, for instance.

Gretchen Johnson has penned a wonderful story about a woman that keeps on walking, going past the barriers and making her own path—something we should all learn to live by.

Story was smart, humorous, and enjoyable.  A fun, light-hearted read! A must for any girl who’s ever lived the single life.
