"Making her fiction debut, Bosnak writes with
a keen eye for comedy. Absolutely hilarious... [20 Times a Lady] deserves a
place on all shelves."
— Library Journal
"Don't hate yourself in the morning for
reading this book and liking it. It's as irresistible as a pint of Ben &
Jerry's and goes down as easily. Laugh-out-loud encounters with old flames
end in hilarious flameouts. The lively pace and outlandish story will keep
readers hooked..." — Booklist
"A positive message on taking risks and owning
up to one's mistakes. Frequently funny...saucy chick-lit."
— Kirkus Reviews
Chose 20 Times for the Smart Girls' Book Club.
"A well-executed first novel [and] an excellent read. Bosnak writes with a
charming and original voice." — Chicago Sun-Times
"Chick-lit with bells on!" —
Nottingham Evening Post (UK)
"Delilah always vowed never to sleep with more
than 20 men. But now she’s reached her target without finding Mr. Right, so
she visits her exes with hilarious results."
— Glamour UK
"Sassy and fun -- we love a good romp!"
— OK! magazine (UK)
Selected 20 Times as the 'Book of the Month'
for the Aero Book Club. "A comedy of errors, a real page-turner and so
entertaining. In fact, it's like having a best friend you can totally relate
to, and it almost feels as though you've been jolted into the reality of
your past! Many women will identify with Delilah's crazed search..."
— Amanda Holden in New Woman (UK)
"A zany American tale that takes you into the
self-conscious world of a delusional young lady who has decided that 20 is
the magic number for her." — Western Daily Press (UK)
"20 Times a Lady is the book of the summer! I
devoured it from cover to cover while reminiscing about my own previous
relationship hits and misses." — A Socialite's Life
"A fast, funny and very enjoyable love
story/road-trip novel. Whilst you may be able to predict how the book will
end, you won't predict how Delilah gets there - and that's the mark of a
good writer. The book speeds along, and there's a lot of surprises on the
way to a happy ending. I loved the fact that the main character is a
risk-taker, not afraid to seem stupid - and brave in sharing her feelings.
And I frequently found myself snorting with laughter at her remarks!
After loving Save Karyn so much, I wasn't sure how I'd feel about a novel by
the same author—would the same big, sunny personality come across in a work
of fiction? I'm happy to say it does! Delilah seems heavily based on Karyn's
own personality and I think that's why she's so likeable. But as to how much
the experiences (and experience) Delilah has is based on reality, I guess
only Ms Bosnak will ever know for sure..." — Trashionista
"In her younger days Delilah decided she would
stop at her 20th sexual partner. Now 29, she is on No 19 and gets a big
shock when she reads an article that tells her she has had almost double the
amount of men as the average woman. With this depressing news Delilah
decides to revisit her past "loves"–just to make sure she hasn't missed The
One. But the question is, can you put a number on love?" — The
Sun (UK)
"I work for Barnes & Noble and received an
Advanced Reader's Copy of 20 Times a Lady last Monday afternoon and
finished it tonight. I couldn't put it down! I laughed SO hard when reading
it and even cried a little at the end! You are very talented, and I cannot
wait until your next book comes out. I will definitely give all my friends a
copy of this book! — Valarie, a reader in Texas
"Five Stars! This is a must read for all chick
lit lovers! I really enjoyed reading it and thought it really stood out from
the rest of the women's fiction I have read - and I work in a book shop so
I've read a lot! It's a great read for the weekend or for when you just want
to chill out!" — Anna, a reader in Cheshire, UK
"This book was an advance reading copy from
HarperCollins First Look. I enjoyed it very much... it kind of reminded me
of Bridget Jones's Diary. It was funny and at the same time
thought-provoking." — A reader in Springport, MI
 (from people whose opinion
is in no way skewed)
"20 Times a Lady had me laughing out
loud and cringing with recognition. As I read through each disastrous
"re-meet" Delilah has with her former bed mates, I found myself calling my
college roommates and high school friends, reading each hilarious passage
out loud to them. Anyone who has ever had a one-night stand they lived
to regret, or has wondered about "the one who got away," will love this
novel—and will find themselves taking their own little walk down memory
lane. Grab a pen and paper and keep it by your side as you read this
uproarious and un-put-downable novel. I guarantee you'll want to make
a list of your own." — Alison Callahan, my editor
"Karyn Bosnak captures the complexity of a
modern woman's sex life with humor, originality and wit in a manner that we
haven't seen before." — Beau Flynn, the producer who
optioned the feature film rights, in Variety
"A MUST-READ! I laughed and cried harder
than I did in Beaches... and I really like Bette Midler." —Naomi, my best friend
"I'm not into chicklit, but this shit's good."
— Frank, Naomi's husband
