By Deanna Kizis
Warner Books
Hardcover, Paperback, Audio Cassette (Unabridged) and Audio CD (Unabridged) Editions

Benjamina Franklin is her name and finding a wonderful cute boy is her game. In Deanna Kizis's new novel, eaders will get to follow Ben on all her dating adventures, okay more like misadventures.

Ben writes for Filly Magazine giving advice on everything from relationships to friendships but when it comes to finding a Mr. Perfect for herself even her own advice doesn't seem to hold up to well.

To add to the pressure, Ben's little sister is getting married leaving her six months to find herself a boyfriend. It doesn't take long for Ben to land Max but she soon begins to wonder if he is really the perfect guy for her.

How to Meet Cute Boys Excerpt
"Name?" asked the bouncer when we got to the front.

"Benjamina Franklin."

As the story goes, my parents came up with it while smoking dope. No wonder they ended up divorced - family life wasn't exactly their thing.

Maybe everything she thought she wanted in a relationship is not what it's all cracked up to be and maybe the perfect guy is really all smoke and mirrors.

How to Meet Cute Boys is a funny, feel good read. Anyone who has ever been on a bad date will look back and laugh after spending a few hours in Ben's world.

So grab a pen and a copy of Deanna Kizis's new book because this tale of the single life is hilariously funny and full of games, tips and tricks, dating and relationship statistics and magazine styled quizzes. With witty characters and a comical story line this is a feel good novel that will have readers enjoying every page until the very end.
