The tables are turned in Ex-Girlfriends United. Dan's womanizing has caught up t 3. Dan's womanizing has caught up to him. His past girlfriends are rating him at an online review site Slate Your Date. And it's not good Dan and Edward set out to to clean up Dan's reputation - and maybe win back the one girl he did love. But Edward has his own issues when his ex - Jane - decides she wants Edward back.

What makes Dunn's books for is that other side of the coin view. The 'what does it mean if she does this?

Dan, of course, has very set 'rules' of engagement. Edward is more naive and sweeter. Edward is the boyfriend you'd want to have. Dan's dialogue sometimes veers past funny and crude into just plain crass. I think this is my only complaint about the book. The repartee between the two characters is quick and witty. But I do wonder how and why the two of them are friends, being such polar opposites. Other than that and really it wasn't that bad Ex-Girlfriends United is perfect for the beach bag.

It won't tax your brain, but will provide an entertaining read with some laughs along the way. Cover blurb from Sophie Kinsella - " A hilarious insight into the male mind" Mar 07, Geoffrey rated it really liked it Shelves: Overall, this is a great Lad Lit series. Ed and Dan are mates. Ed is happily monogamous and Dan is the handsome playboy love-em-and-leave-em type. The first book opens with Ed being dumped by his girlfriend of 10 years, Jane, for letting himself go and for becoming boring. That first book is about him getting back in shape and learning to be interesting again to win her back.

The book centers around Ed working up to asking Sam to move in with him and trying to help Dan first clean up his image after they find a website devoted to outing crap boyfriends. The book is funny and Dunn is a very entertaining author. I suggest reading Ex-Boyfriend's Handbook, the first book in the series. Love it, enjoy it, then read this one. Jun 23, Heather Bode rated it it was ok. I should preface this review by saying this was a book that I randomly plucked off the shelf at the library, because it's summer time and I wanted light reading.

Ex-Girlfriends United

I have not read the first book didn't even realize there was a first book until about halfway through the novel. Perhaps it takes reading the first book to understand the characters better. Ed was sweet, thoughtful and moral, and yet it was so incredibly irritating how thick he was. Not in the big relationship questions sense, more so I should preface this review by saying this was a book that I randomly plucked off the shelf at the library, because it's summer time and I wanted light reading.

Not in the big relationship questions sense, more so his inability to understand any point a person was trying to make unless it was phrased in the form of a metaphor or analogy. And dear lord - the analogies. I'm a fan of a good analogy, but it seemed as it was the only way these people could communicate with one another. It was a literary device that got really old really fast to me.

I feel like a could complain about a number of things, but part of me wonders if it's because I'm a woman, and one could argue this book is presented from a male perspective, hence there being inherent differences of opinion. Anyway, overall it was an entertaining read to pass the time, but didn't grab me, and didn't leave me with much of a desire to read the first book. Feb 28, Teresa rated it really liked it Shelves: Being a romance writer who likes to get inside the head of her heroes, I decided to read a 'Matt Dunn' for the perspective of the male voice. This was an incredibly funny, light-hearted, entertaining read.

It's in first person, and you're in Ed's head. It's got great pace and there are so many laugh out loud moments. This is book two, and I really wish I'd read The Ex-boyfriends Handbook first but you don't need to read that to follow this story. You get the idea. I actually thought this book wo Being a romance writer who likes to get inside the head of her heroes, I decided to read a 'Matt Dunn' for the perspective of the male voice.

I actually thought this book would be much more about Dan, Ed's womanising, bed-hopping best friend, as it starts out with him having the problems, but really it turns out to be more about Ed and Sam, and Jane, Ed's ex. I will definitely be reading more. It's not really chick-lit although I have a hard time knowing what really is chick-lit in the sense it's more about romance than anything, and I don't want to categorise it as Lad-lit because this book really is written for women to read, though I think men would enjoy this book too, they would find it hilarious as long as romance is their thing.

Definitely an enjoyable read. I would have read this quicker but with reading Harry Potter with my son, I'm having to split my reading time. Dan is a low rung TV star that has just landed his perfect role in a soap opera. He finds woman are not throwing themselves at him as they should be with his new found glory. His friend Ed finds him on a dating website that lets you rate your date and all of his previous dates have given him a ONE out of ten.. Dan enlists Ed to help him clean up his online persona and through a series of missteps that aren't quite honest, he learns that he must be truthful with himself to right everything.

The s Dan is a low rung TV star that has just landed his perfect role in a soap opera. The story is told from the point of view of Ed which leads to very original observations and a lot of very funny one liners. Ed's girlfriend, Sam, provides a great counterpoint to the whole situation especially when his ex arrives on the scene. There are some really sweet moments when Dan realizes that Polly is the "girl who got away" and he works on his issues to win her back.

This is chick lit from the mind of a man and really hits the mark. I haven't read The Ex-Boyfriend's Handbook, but I guess I will have to now since this really exceeded my expectations. It is nice to have a romance like this told from a male viewpoint.

It is a wonderful story about second chances. Matt Dunn's Ex-Girlfriends United is a funny tongue-in-cheek look at a guy who's trying to get his best buddy to change his caddish ways. It's not too difficult to start the process--by apologizing to his exes--especially when they've rated him badly on a website, but how much does the process stick with the guy? I expected this to be more about Dan the cad. After all, it's Dan's ex-girlfriends who've torpedoed his chances at adding to that loooooooooong list Instead, it's more about Eddie, Matt Dunn's Ex-Girlfriends United is a funny tongue-in-cheek look at a guy who's trying to get his best buddy to change his caddish ways.

Instead, it's more about Eddie, who starred in Dunn's previous novel Ex-Boyfriend's Handbook, and his confusion about his current relationship when his ex-girlfriend shows up out of the blue. Wanting him back, of course. There's angst, which I'm not used to from guys. There's denial, which I am. And there's humor, which makes everything better. I wasn't enamored with Dan, and Eddie was a bit too wishy-washy for my liking. Apr 27, Diana Hockley rated it it was amazing. Totally hilarious, laugh aloud moments.

How Dan and Ed resolve their problems makes for a terrific read. Okay, I saw this book at the library, read the description and was interested so why not. It's an easy read, not too complicated The synopsis turns out to be only half of the story maybe slightly less. It almost felt to me like it was a switch and bait type of thing.

Again, if you want something simple it's almost got a "this could be a sitcom" vibe to it and just a quick read, I would try it out but only after reading the first book see belo Okay, I saw this book at the library, read the description and was interested so why not.

I'm a believer is reading in order; even if it's sometimes not required. Did a little research and found out this is the second book that evolves around the two main characters.

Feb 09, Teena in Toronto rated it liked it. Edward and Dan are back. Edward is happy now dating his ex-trainer, Sam. Dan, on the other hand, can't get a date and it's because all the women he's dumped have rated him on a website called Slate Your Date. Edward comes up with a plan to have Dan make it up to every woman on the website so they'll erase the bad ratings.

Dan is still the same egotistical fella he was in the first book and Edwards is still his ever patient pal trying to turn him around. It is an entertaining "guy-lit" book told from a man's perspective. Dec 17, Mindy rated it really liked it. I just saw this book while picking random ones to add to my cart, at first I was quite hesitant to bring it home as I was over my quota I usually set a fixed number of quota before I go book shopping as I have a tendency to just grab everything off the shelf. But the blurb and tittle was too attractive to put it back so I did what a bookworm have to do, break my quota again it's going to haunt me when the bills come and I did not regret it.

I didn't struggle to immerse myself in the book since it was very well written, relatable in a lot of sense, it gives you a clear picture of what's really going on in a guy's head.

The plot was good tho but can't say I like the ending much, it was quite dry So 4 out of 5 stars! Aug 13, Lina Khairunisa rated it really liked it. This book made me feel uneasy in each chapter, which is a good vibe to me. I really thought the story focuses on Dan alone since at the beginning, it's all about him him and him.

But then, there comes the part where Edward is concerned. Whatever it is, I was annoyed by Dan's behavior- he loves to insult Edward whenever he likes but come to think of it again, they're best friends, and best friends, especially guys, always insult each other. And I really think the guys should read this book, it he This book made me feel uneasy in each chapter, which is a good vibe to me. And I really think the guys should read this book, it helps to save their relationship with their girlfriends, well, at least.

Will look forward to read Matt Dunn's books again. Jan 08, rudy rated it did not like it.

Dec 23, IzzahAbd rated it it was ok. Didn't really enjoy this book. There's not really that jaw-dropping plot twist but the writing style is light. It's wasn't the type of fluffy bubbly kind of love I had hoped for but thank God there wasn't anything explicit.

There's too much talking and the guys made things more complicated than they really are.

See a Problem?

Which is so frustrating. The characters are sort of inconsistent. One minute Dan is a genius and one minute he isn't. Dec 05, Liberty Bell rated it really liked it. I like Matt Dunn's books! They are cheerful, funny and light hearted. This one is a follow on from the Ex Boyfriend's Handbook. Ever wondered what happened to Eddie's best friend and all around heart throb?
