PRAISE FOR
Karyn Bosnak and What’s Your Number?
(previously titled 20 Times a Lady)
“Bosnak writes with a charming and original voice. . . . She’s taken what might have been a five-minute conversation in Monk’s Coffee Shop and made it into a well-executed first novel.”
—Chicago Sun-Times
“It’s as irresistible as a pint of Ben & Jerry’s and goes down as easily. . . . Fans of chick lit will recognize the overbearing mother, the quirky pet, the misguided ideas about love and relationships, and the laugh-out-loud encounters with old flames that end in hilarious flameouts. The lively pace and outlandish story will keep you hooked.”
—Booklist
“Bosnak writes with a keen eye for comedy. Absolutely hilarious . . . deserves a place on all shelves.”
—Library Journal (starred review)
“A positive message on taking risks and owning up to one’s mistakes. Frequently funny . . . saucy chick lit.
—Kirkus Reviews
“Bosnak guides her readers on a this tour of past loves with a heaping dose of humor and heart, [and] proves her ability to create a fictional character every bit as endearing as she was able to make herself [in Save Karyn]. A snappy beach read.”
—BookPage
“Chick lit with bells on!”
—Nottingham Evening Post (UK)
“Sassy and fun, who doesn’t love a good romp?”
—OK! Magazine (UK)
“Hilarious!”
—Glamour (UK)
