Zen and Sex by Dermot Davis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Martin functions as storyteller, main character and a PIN "person in need" which isn't always as amusing as I hoped it would be. From my personal experience PINS are self-centred, absorbed with their own problems and have no clue or feelings about what others feel.

Was the author poking fun at romantic comedies in general? Or was he poking fun at the women who usually play the lead characters in such romantic comedies. Either way, Martin wasn't appealing to me as a main character and I much preferred Frances over him as someone who had something to bring to the story.

Martin's age got me thinking a lot. He is said to be 24 and looking for a long-term relationship, beyond the wedding he is going for. Most single men at this age go to weddings to find a girl. Secondly, the Martin / Frances relationship also felt that the author was being sarcastic about older women dating younger men.

I read this book twice, no technical fault to plot, setting or character development. I did laugh and I did feel the love but I wasn't swept off my feet or have that warm feeling that romantic comedies give you.
