Dan Davis is the ultimate womanizer - he meets a woman, dates her, dumps her, and goes on to the next one. Heck, sometimes he doesn't even bother to dump her - he'll just walk out and assume she'll get the hint. And then there are the times he doesn't even bother to date the woman - a notch in the proverbial bedpost is just fine, thank you! But suddenly, he hits a dry spell and can't figure out why. Of course, for someone like him a mere three weeks is a dry spell of epic proportions and something must be done!

Through a rather convoluted twist of fate that only occurs in movies and books, Dan finds out (with the help of his best friend Edward and Sam, Edward's girlfriend) that the reason for his dry spell is a website called SlateYourDate.com. This site offers women the opportunity to discuss their dating disasters and dish the dirt on all the duds. And, unfortunately, Dan Davis, is the most searched for man in his geographic area.

Together, Edward and Dan come up with the idea of tracking down the wronged ex-girlfriends and trying to make things right. This is no small task, however, as Dan didn't exactly keep tabs on the women when he "dated" them, let alone after they broke up. So Edward does his best to track the women down while Dan does what he can to ingratiate himself with the wronged women.

In the meantime, Edward is getting a taste of his own medicine when his ex-girlfriend Jane enters the picture and he must decide whether he's happy with Sam or if he might actually be on the rebound. Soon, he's having secret meetings with Jane, and all of the advice he's been giving Dan starts coming back to haunt him when Dan starts advising him on how to handle "the Jane situation."

The book was full of humor, and most of it came from how dense Dan is. However, after awhile, one wondered how Dan could function in life if he was actually as obtuse as he was portrayed time after time in the book. One also wondered what his redeeming qualities were that would make Edward want to be friends with him for so many years. Overall, the premise of the book was solid, and it gave an interesting perspective on relationships.
