The Dumpster by Becky Due ~ Pump Up Your Book Tour and giveaway

Product Description


Nicole, a cute, chubby, twenty-something woman, is looking for love in all the wrong places. Who would have guessed that a dumpster in the back alley below her bedroom window would hold the key to finding love?

My take on this book:

Nicole is a young lady who was self esteem issues. Her professional life as a banker seems to be going well, but her personal life well its in the dumpster!She wants a kind caring man who is willing to go the distance with her but because she is self conscious about her weight the steady stream of losers men in her life has been less than ideal.When she hosts a Valentine's day party so that everyone can meet her newest boyfriend Tom, someone she has dated for two weeks! He shows up for the party all right, but instead of staying he hands her a dvd player and tells her to watch it, he breaks up with her via  dvd, the creep!

The management of the building has placed a dumpster under her bedroom window, and actually it comes in pretty handy, she can just open up her window and pitch out whatever she is purging from her life. In the beginning she complains about the dumpster, but actually the dumpster leads her to someone that might just turn out to be her forever love!

A great story, the author captures the essence of the character perfectly. It is easy to imagine Nicole at the stage of life she is in. Her insecurities about herself are so easy for women to relate too. The message about choosing, was resounding. I think we all often get stuck in a rut, but a few positive changes can totally change our outlook. The relationship between her parents was quite interesting as well. I applaud the fact that they decided to stay together and work it out. Her friends are very funny, and also very quirky. This book was a funtastic read,I loved how it opened up on Valentines day,  and my only complaint was that it had to end!

I would caution that there are a couple of sex scenes, but nothing overdone, I wasn't bothered at all. If your looking for a book that's going to make you laugh out loud, pick up this story your not going to regret it!
