On the day her divorce is finalized, Becca Egan hits the
bars to meet her girlfriends. She wants to forget about the
time she wasted in her failed marriage as quickly as
possible. Unfortunately, Becca is completely clueless about
the bar scene and sits on her barstool hoping the right
kind of guy will offer to buy her a drink. When her friends
are running late, she quickly falls prey to a smooth-
talking pickup artist who almost talks her into heading
back to his place when A.J. Daye rescues her.
A.J. is the older brother of one of Becca's friend and has
always been annoying and charming. He takes pity on Becca
and lets her in on the secret ways of men, namely that many
men in bars are using "the method" to hit on women. He
convinces Becca to go out with him, to become his "wingman"
and help him hit on the ladies. Becca is fascinated,
disgusted and intrigued as she learns more about A.J.'s
simple steps for wooing women. She's also determined never
to fall for a METHOD MAN -- although she may be ready for
love again.
METHOD MAN is packed with fast-paced banter and hilarious
pick-up lines, along with some interesting theories on
dating, love, romance and seduction, although not
necessarily in that order. Becca's cynical outlook and
A.J.'s conceited self-assurance provide opposing insights
into modern dating, and Becca's job in a tranquil
antiquarian bookstore offers a balance with her hectic
nights out. I loved every page, coveted Becca's cool
friends and coworkers and cheered her on through the happy
ending. Naomi Neale gives us a perfect treat for
Valentine's Day!
Becca Egan was quickly working her way up the Yes Ladder
when A.J. Daye rescued her from a "git it, hit it, and
forgit it" lounge lizard. As a pro pickup artist, A.J. knew
all the lingo. He even offered to teach Becca more secrets
of The Method--a system to woo women from the bar to the
bedroom in less time than it takes to say `strawberry-kiwi
daiquiri.'
Soon Becca is acting as A.J.'s wingman--partying in
Manhattan's most exclusive clubs, rubbing elbows with
celebrities, and quickly learning way more about men's
dirty pickup techniques than she ever wanted to know. But
when the game starts to dictate her life, she realizes it
may be time to ditch The Method and start playing by her
own rules.
