In Dandy Day by Annie Wood, Dandy is a 35-year-old waitress who, in her grandpa’s words, “thinks too much, talks too much, [and] wonders too much.” Even with all that over-thinking, she can’t seem to figure out why none of her past relationships have worked out. After her therapist bails on her, she chooses to take a different approach. She decides that she is going to seek out all of her ex-boyfriends and ask each of them why they broke up, in hopes of finding out what is wrong with her. In the process, with the help of her best friend, Simon, she soon discovers just what her problem is in this story about life, love, and friendship.
Annie Wood’s Dandy Day was extraordinarily laugh-out-loud funny. I was practically rolling on the floor uncontrollably. There were even parts where I said to myself, as I was laughing hysterically, “This is the best paragraph I have ever read.” Dandy’s thoughts tend to get a little sidetracked, which ends up being hilarious. I also absolutely love her friendship with Simon. They complement each other well with each of their unique characteristics and quirks. My only issue with this book was the pace; it seemed rushed. Too much happened in a short amount of time. If the plot was stretched out in a longer book, it would have been perfect. But, overall, I really enjoyed this book. I haven’t laughed that hard while reading in a long time. If you are looking for a humorous story that includes a little romance and heart, this is definitely the book for you. I hope to see more from this talented author.
