Disaster Dates and Lucky Escapes: Finding The One in the Age of Online Dating

By Tess Smith-Roberts

Genre:-Graphic Novel/Humour/Marriage and Dating

Pages:-50

Publisher:-Kyle Books/Octopus

Blurb:-Meet Olive. She's just a regular gal looking for love, but navigating the wild world of modern dating is getting her no closer to finding the one-why are there so many weirdos out there?!

 Follow serial dater Olive on her quest for companionship, as she navigates the terrible world of app-based dating and goes on dates that go from bad to worse to even disastrous, including a man who disappears after going to the toilet in a restaurant and is later on the beach; and a professional triangle player who vomits all over her on the beach; and a professional triangle player who gets into a fist fight and jumps out of not one but two moving cabs.

 Will Olive ever find the one? And will they be everything she's looking for?

 Following up on the popularity of her dating comics series on Instagram, Disaster Dates and Lucky Escapes is crammed full of outrageous dates illustrated in artist Tess Smith-Roberts's colourful and fun signature style. The sometimes gross, often relatable but always laugh-out-loud hilarious stories are weaved into a narrative, all happening to one main character who's just trying to find love in an online world, with some dates submitted by Tess's followers, some inspired by previous submissions and, of course, some fan favourites from her viral dating comics.

My Review:-I've never read a comic type book for many years, I forgot just how good they are. I love olive and sharing adventures of dating. This is a quick and enjoyable read that will have you laughing throughout the whole book. I think we've all had dates that have been the same as Olive. The illustrations are perfect for this book. This would make a great socking filler for Christmas.
