Looking for Mr. Right in All the Wrong Places: A Memoir


by Bridget Harrison


Bridget Harrison is a 29 year old British newspaper reporter with a great boyfriend, a nice house and plenty of friends. She also has a yearning for adventure, so when she is offered a temporary position at the New York Post through a work exchange program, she leaps at the chance to live in the US, even though it means leaving all the great things about her life behind in London. Readers follow Bridget as she suddenly finds herself single and alone in a new city. Soon she is learning the ropes of her new job and settling into life in Manhattan. She even starts dating again and accepts a permanent postion at the paper, eventually writing her own column about dating in New York and falling head over heels in love with her boss.

Bridget is likeable and down to earth, her problems are very easy to relate to. Fans of Sex and the City will enjoy reading about her exciting Carrie Bradshaw-ish adventures with dating. This book does drag a bit in spots but all in all, it is a fun, light read.
