Confessions of a Tinderella Kindle Edition

4.0 out of 5 stars 533 ratings

The laugh-out-loud true story of one girl's experience of life on Tinder.

Rosy Edwards is the epitome of a contradictory twenty-something year old. She’s frugal when it comes to food shopping, but is willing to splash out on shampoo. She’s career minded, she just doesn’t know which career to have in mind right now. And although she’s happy being single, a part of her kind of wants a boyfriend.

So after a few unsuccessful dates with friends of friends (read: being forced to date their shortest/dullest/oddest acquaintance), she put herself on Tinder, the app that has transformed the world of online dating. And she soon learns the unspoken rules the hard way:
always reject a guy with black and white profile pics (he is ginger and/or ugly); is wearing a hat (bald); has a shot of his torso (moron) or is not standing beside anything scaleable (5”8 and under).

And then there are the dates themselves. From a sky-high dinner date to a borderline drug bust in Chelsea, Rosy has experienced it all, swinging through her love life on the trapeze of Tinder. She falls for the wrong guys, ditches the nice ones, but can she finally find her happy ending.

Brilliantly honest and hilariously funny, Rosy’s story shows us all that the key to a successful love life could just be a swipe away.

Product description

Review

Hilarious ... Confessions of a Tinderella recounts everything from bum-biting to beer goggles with brazen honesty. ― Express

A brilliantly honest book that's sure to provide proper belly laughs. ―
Reveal

From Belle du Jour to Bridget Jones, the sexploit confessional has long been a popular genre, but Edwards’s new book,
Confessions of a Tinderella, takes it to new levels of disclosure as she ’fesses up about her real-life experiences of dating and dumping men on Tinder. Like a real-life Bridget [Jones], Edwards recounts getting laid, getting into scrapes, her biscuit-and-booze binges and, above all, wanting to meet Mr Right and marry him. ― Evening Standard

The perfect gift for your single girlfriend, whether she’s still happily swiping or has given up on the dating game.
Confessions of a Tinderella as told by former Tinder addict Rosy Edwards, is a hilarious and horrifyingly relatable account of modern dating. Guaranteed to have singletons cringing and laughing in equal measure. ― Marie Claire

Totally addicted from the first page. It’s relatable, funny and really moving in places. Rosy is amazing at conveying her feelings, especially instances of pathetic fallacy, and at points I had a lump in my throat. Of course it’s also funny and endearing – a must read of anyone who has dabbled with dating apps, and lives in a city that can get a bit lonely at times. ―
Emma Gannon

About the Author

Rosy Edwards was born in Greenwich in a decade when A-Ha were still scoring Number Ones. Upon graduating from Durham University, Rosy found her way back to London, to a flat-share with friends and a job as a Junior Executive in a media PR firm. With a relationship coming to an end, Rosie threw herself into London life – she even went to the roller disco at Vauxhall – and got back into running, Pilates and vintage Kate Bush. In 2013 she joined Tinder.

    This book is fantastic. Funny, heart wrenching and relatable. As a single girl on Tinder, and someone who has just made a massive career change, it is such a relief to know I'm not alone! Life is ok because other people are going through what I'm going through. I have laughed so hard whilst reading this and almost cried when reading about the break ups and deep, meaningful and truthful revelations the author has about love and life. If you are a twenty or thirty something woman, read this. I cannot stress this enough! Brilliant.

  • Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 June 2015
    I enjoyed the book for the most part, but I did find it slow going. Rosy doesn't even download Tinder until about 30% in, and I think only goes on about 5 or 6 Tinder dates in the whole book, so I found the title a little misleading! It's over-written, and the reader has to wade through a lot of description and set up to get to the good bits - eg when Rosy gets on a bus, there's a lot of poetic detail about it. It's very "Bridget Jones" and Rosy seems at pains to point out whole normal she is, and how much she likes chocolate and pyjamas etc... throughout the whole book. At times I felt like shouting "OK I get it!! You're just like us! You like crisps and wine!". I did also question how much had to be altered from the truth, because even with name changes, I would be surprised if some of the people mentioned in the book would be happy with the way their portrayed. It also ends very abruptly with no real conclusion. At the end, it seems the book is really about a woman getting a job writing the book you're reading. Which is nice for her, but not that interesting for anyone else! I think Rosy struggles to make any real point about dating in the 21st century. But there are some funny moments and it's a fine holiday read. I look forward to her next book.

    Brilliant fast paced book full of humour and real life experiences. It's very well written and one of those books you don't want to put down but then don't want to finish either. The open way Rosie has expressed herself and her experiences is refreshing and attracts the sympathy and understanding of the reader. Hope there's another book to follow!

    Currently in the process of reading this. And OMG I can’t seem to be able to put this book down. Such a good read. I have laughed out loud several times as some aspects of the book is very relatable to my personal experiences

    was a very enjoyable read and was very easy to read but disappointed in the abrupt ending, just because it ends without warning just as it seems to get going again. i have so many unanswered questions.
