The Delusional Divas, Shelby and Dena, started out their two tours of Italy as rather "determined" Divas. That's where they went wrong.

In this hilarious book of two female friends traveling in Italy in pursuit of men and love, I couldn't help but think back on the days of my own young adulthood. My European travels also included a female blonde friend for this brunette. We both were looking for entertainment throughout our travels so that, if we grew bored with museums and statues, we could always look for cafes and discos to seek male companionship.

What made me laugh the most in this book were: (1) one female friend always threatening to go into the "danger zone", but the other female friend saying not to until the former relents and passes up the opportunity, (2) one female friend always trying to pawn off her male companion's male friend onto to the second female friend, and (3) "danger zones" always having nicknames or code names. As an example of #3 in this book, Dena christened one man Ottavio the Octopus "because he seemed to have more arms than a tree has branches". Do all women do this in their travels? I hope so because it makes traveling more fun.

This book is kind of long, but delightful. If reading it gets tiring, just put it aside for a while, then come back later to read another chapter. It will make you laugh because it all seems so familiar!

The ending is worth it. The Dynamic Duo...er, the Delusional Divas come to their senses and write a book! I'm still waiting for my former travel buddy to start writing! :D
