About the author
Lisa Daily
24 books596 followersI've been writing for a long time, since third grade actually, when I wrote a romance serial starring everybody's favorite hunky science teacher, Mr. G. Every day the girls would gather under the slide to hear the latest installment of Mr. G's feats of romance and bravery, which involved things like giving only the third grade girls cupcakes, or riding up on the playground on a white horse to save one of us from a boy with cooties.
The girls in my class were hooked, and so was I.
More than a few years later, I wrote a dating advice book called STOP GETTING DUMPED which miraculously hit the best seller list (thanks for that, everybody.)
A few years after that, I figured it might be even more fun to create a whole guy from scratch, and I wrote my first romantic comedy, a novel called FIFTEEN MINUTES OF SHAME, a fictional (I swear!) account of a popular dating expert (not me!) who finds out on national television that her husband is cheating on her.

This is a very quick read. The earth shattering advice she offers sounds like it was taken entirely from a bunch of Yahoo!News articles: embrace your younger self, divorced women can find love again (over and over again), get a makeover to improve your odds of standing out, join motorcycle gangs and wholesome church groups to meet single men and relocate to better single friendly areas to find your soul mate.
Lisa Daily is also rather confusing in her words of wisdom. She can't seem to make up her mind which side of the fence she's on. In one chapter she's upholding chivalry and preaching the benefits of letting the guy make the first moves. She then dedicates three whole chapters on the joy of being a couger, speed and online dating and how to put yourself out there so you won't make the classic one-night-stand mistake. Don't be a whore, but remember nobody wants to date a nun. She claims men WANT to meet a woman they can take care of both financially and emotionally, yet, at the end of day, all that matters to the man is the sex. Perhaps that's why three whole chapters on bedroom sex, toys and condoms were included. Chpater 12 consists of two whole pages of "Oh, by the way, if he REALLY likes you then you should demand he put a ring on it." How grown-up is that?
Very confusing advice to the wholesome, virtuous homebody looking to trade her weekly paychecks and one bedroom apartment for a homemaking position and marriage to a man who is good, kind and crazy about me. Because, in the end, isn't that what all women, be they 21 or 101 really want?
