BOOK 1: Click Date RepeatThese days, finding love online is as commonplace as ordering that coveted sweater. But back in 2003, the whole concept of internet dating was still quite new, with a stigma attached to it that meant those who were willing to test the waters faced a fair amount of skepticism from friends and family.Such is the case for Chloe Thompson, a restless 20-something tired of the … 20-something tired of the typical dating scene and curious about what she might find inside her parents’ computer. With two serious but failed relationships behind her, Chloe isn’t even entirely sure what she’s looking for. She just knows that whatever it is, she wants to find it.
Chloe’s foray into online dating involves a head-first dive into a world of matches, ice breakers and the occasional offer of dick pics, all while Chloe strives to shake herself of the ex who just refuses to disappear. Will she simultaneously find herself and “the one” online, or will the ever-growing pile of humorous and downright disastrous dates only prove her friends and family right? There’s only one way to find out…

BOOK 2: Click Date Repeat Again
Never in her wildest dreams would Jess Mason ever imagine herself being a part of the online dating hype. Yet here she is smack-dab in the middle of it all. And she’s dated her fair share of online crazies to be a new connoisseur of all the weirdos out in the cyber world. After a slew of bad dates and pussy (cat that is) pictures, Jess knows that she needs to finally commit to something—or someone. And suddenly there he is, a man she can actually imagine herself with.
But when Jess is faced with an undeniable attraction to a handsome, unavailable co-worker, she’s conflicted about continuing her quest for Mr. Right-At-Her-Fingertips. Now, it’s feast or famine—and she’s not willing to starve. She certainly can’t have both–that wouldn’t be right. After all, that’s the “old Jess.” The new Jess is ready to start clicking with someone special and make a real love connection.

Characters are believable and realistic, as are the bad dates. Although these are all online, they were reminiscent of dating in its former life. The second book was funnier than the first.
It’s almost hard to remember when online dating was new… this boxed set takes you back to the skepticism, the curiosity and fun.
This was a super cute book that I could easily relate to. The characters were like-able and there was just enough drama to keep me wanting to read.
I don’t know one woman who acts like these characters. These read like fanfiction – what a 11 year old girl thinks an adult woman would do in her dating life. The constant black-out drinking, irresponsibility when it comes to work, committing to life changes within months of knowing someone? Both of the main characters are unlikable, but worse, no one should relate to them. I thought these would be simple, fun reads (especially since I met my husband online!), but they were simply ridiculous.
(What woman can’t tell the difference between a condom that was used for sex and a condom that was used as a balloon???)
This book drug along. It was disappointing the amount of focus it put on drinking heavily while working as an educator. It was shallow and dull.
Did not finish, language, sex, slutty women
I think it was one of the ones I didn’t like the language on. Could be wrong. Forgive me if so. But personally, I don’t like the f-bomb. If I see it Several times at beginning of book, I delete the book.
•A lighthearted and fun read. Chloe learns to accept herself as she navigates her way through online dating fails and the stigma associated with it in its early days. Her cast of friends are as much fun as the funny dating tales.
•Chloe’s best friend Jess takes her shot at online dating with a totally different approach, and why wouldn’t she, it’s Jess after all?!! I truly felt this was the best of the two books and maybe its because I associated with Jess more than Chloe. The character development was astounding and the story was one I did not want to put down. Witty yet profound.
I could not get into this set of books.
I really enjoyed this book, the author took a tired story formula and enlivened it with wonderful characters and great dialogue. I liked it so much I ordered and read the sequel, which was just as good. One of those you enjoy so much you don’t want to be finished reading it.
Ugh. This series took me two trues and two months to finish. It is a testimony on why not to do on-line dating. Too bad no one just talks any more face to face.
Got slow in the second book. Finished it but not that good.
Entertaining
This is a perfect book for a lazy afternoon.
Click. Date. Repeat.
This is a great story with a flashback to on-line dating. I have never personally tried on-line dating, but after reading this book, I think Chloe would be me. I laughed at the characters and the profiles that they had created for themselves. For me, it was a great read with a light-hearted take on the adventures of on-line dating, including the ups and downs that go along with it. Thinking I need to find an “Angel Lady” to toss me in the right direction (couldn’t hurt and might help).
Click. Date. Repeat. Again
After reading this book, I just might have to try on-line dating for myself! I love Jess and the journey that she takes via her online dating subscription. From setting parameters, to the profile names, Chloe’s (best friend) antics, the dates (some good, some bad), to her willingness to try new things – Jess will have you laughing your butt off! I also like when authors give you a peak with the character from the previous book, so I was happy to hear what is going on with Chloe and Daran. One click this book today, you will be glad you did….I’d bet a dollar on that!
Click Date Repeat is basically the story of Chloe and her online dating experiences. I found this book to be both funny as well as sad, but I don’t want to get into that as it might ruin it for you. If you’re looking for an “easy” read with some humor as well as an actual story, don’t hesitate to pick this one up. I loved it. KJ does a great job of developing her characters and her writing is incredibly smooth and flows extremely well. You will find yourself fully immersed in this story and like you are a part of it from the beginning until the end.
Now onto Click Date Repeat Again…I absolutely LOVED this book! K.J.’s writing is so smooth and flawless once again. She writes such believable characters that you’d swear you actually know them and that you’re friends with them. I adore Jess and Sawyer and even Chloe and Daran and of course we all know a Shelly in real life. I love when previous characters make an appearance in a future book but aren’t necessarily a sequel.
I also really love when an author can write a romance book without the use of explicit or graphic sex. Personally I can do without all of that and just skim it, so the fact that K.J. doesn’t use it at all makes for a much better book and story in my opinion.
I can’t wait to read more from K.J. as her ability to tell a story is so fantastic and her writing is so smooth that it’s just a great experience when I pick up one of her books.
