Hilarious and Completely Relatable!
Over 40 and Still Dating: Adventures in Love, Laughter, and Texting Fiascos is hands down one of the funniest books I’ve read in a long time! Bekka Scott takes the chaos of modern dating and turns it into a laugh-out-loud adventure that’s equal parts cringe-worthy and heartwarming.
The stories Scott shares about her midlife dating escapades are so relatable, I found myself nodding along—and sometimes groaning in secondhand embarrassment. From hilariously awkward first dates to texting mishaps that could happen to anyone, this book captures the absurdity of trying to find love in a world dominated by apps and emojis. Her take on dating etiquette, especially when it comes to deciphering cryptic texts, is pure gold.
What really stands out is Scott’s humor. She has a knack for turning even the most frustrating situations into moments of pure comedy. But it’s not all jokes—beneath the humor is a genuine celebration of resilience, self-discovery, and the courage to put yourself out there no matter how many times you’ve been swiped left.
Whether you’re actively dating, happily coupled, or just enjoy a good laugh, this book is a joy to read. It’s the perfect reminder that dating, like life, is messy, unpredictable, and sometimes downright ridiculous—but also full of potential for connection and great stories. Highly recommend if you’re in the mood for something funny, lighthearted, and surprisingly inspiring!

Funny, But a Little Too Real!
Over 40 and Still Dating had me laughing out loud—and cringing, because so much of it hit way too close to home. Bekka Scott perfectly captures the awkward, messy reality of dating in midlife, from the texting disasters to the bizarre encounters on dating apps.
While I appreciated the humor (and there’s a lot of it), some parts made me squirm because they mirrored my own experiences a little too well. It was like reading my own diary, but with way better punchlines.
If you’ve been through the midlife dating rollercoaster, you’ll probably find this both hilarious and a little uncomfortable—but ultimately worth the read. It’s a funny, heartfelt reminder that we’re all in this madness together!
