"I’m Celibate - Get Me Out of Here!"

Well, that got your attention!

Whilst updating my profile, I added info on my favourite book, and I thought I better post it as well to make sure you read it!

A must have read for the bus, tube, train journey to and from work, you are guaranteed to laugh out loud.. what a great start to the day! Read below the press release on the book and go out and buy it!

"I’m Celibate - Get Me Out of Here!" by Jo Elliott

A mystery ad agency worker is behind this new book, which takes readers on a roller coaster ride through the sometimes seedy world of online dating.
"I’m Celibate - Get Me Out of Here!" is the true-life story of "Jo Elliot" - the pen name of a solvent, successful and single thirty-something from London.

In this contemporary memoir, Jo Elliott gives a frank, feisty and laugh out loud account of how she has spent the last few years looking for Mr Right through online dating.

In a first of its kind publication in the UK, Jo (aka Jo-to-Go) tells it like it is - and it ain’t pretty! From dates whose idea of a ‘nice to meet you’ gift is a bag of sex toys and porn videos, to vertically challenged trust-fund bad boys, serial womanisers and ageing lotharios - all presenting themselves in cyberspace as early 30s, affluent catches!

"I’m Celibate - Get Me Out of Here!" is an unputdownable real life romp through Jo’s dates, mates and love-life disasters, brought cringingly to life through the actual emails, dating profiles and accounts of her encounters. Join Jo and her would-be suitors in a whistle stop tour of London’s eateries, bars and clubs, recoil in horror at her experience of speed-dating, balk at the audacity of the date who got married, but kept trying to come back for more Jo-to-Go, experience the frustration-inducing Northern Line and the restorative properties of Mario’s bacon sarnies…and if you can cope with the excitement, join Jo and Ducati-Bloke at the Travelodge, Birmingham…


With online dating back in the news (Joan Rivers joins match.com, Declan Donnelly reportedly says he may look for love online) "I’m Celibate - Get Me Out of Here!" is set to be the must-read book of the summer. Effortlessly capturing society’s obsession with everything ‘e’ and the eternal quest for true love and romance, Jo’s sassy, up-to-the-minute girl-about-town style will fascinate and enthral readers of all ages.
