Overview Ratings & Reviews

In today's age of virtual "hook-ups" and online encounters, it is no surprise that there are thousands of websites devoted to Internet dating.

Told in a series of vignettes, Kissing Frogs in Cyberspace, Dianne Sweeney's revealing account of dating in the 21st century takes you on a hilarious, often poignant journey of online dates, dumps, and disasters. As she discovers the world of Internet dating is blessed by those seeking true love and plagued by those just "seeking." Kissing Frogs in Cyberspace uncovers the reality of online dating-its pleasures, its horrors, and all the quirky stuff in between.

The Story Behind This Book

“ I'm the average, thirty-something, working woman of today--sometimes sarcastic, sometimes too honest for my own good--but I do tell it like it is. Professionally, I'm set. Friends--I have plenty. But love...well, isn't that what we're all looking for? ”

AMAZING book!!!, December 16, 2009

By	Vanessa - See all my reviews

This is a honest, funny, witty, and charmingly written book!! It's one that you will not want to put down! In addition to the authors commentary and perspective of things, it includes the emails and instant messages that were sent back and forth from the author and her potential "princes". I found myself laughing out loud for much of the book. Don't miss out on this one!!

Relevent for men!, December 20, 2009

By	Miles Hansen (Oslo, Norway) - See all my reviews

This book was recommended to me by a friend who insisted that I read it. Oh my god! This is not a book to read on the bus unless you want to look like a crazy person!! I was laughing so hard out loud that the entire bus was staring! Not only is it a riot, but it is definitely easy for a man to relate to. I have already told my cube-mates at work to read it. Nice work Sweeney!

If this doens't make you laugh....then I don't know..., December 15, 2009

By	Deborah A. Lang "Deborah Lang" (San Jose, CA) - See all my reviews

Hysterical, insightful, relevant and honest journey negotiating the cyberspace waters of on-line dating.
Great read regardless of your relationship status.
This is a Brave new world of dating and Dianne Sweeney has taken us along on her journey.
And if you don't find yourself laughing outloud...then I don't know what to say.
Highly recommended!
