The tribulations that go with finding your perfect match online.
Like many women today, Jennifer is looking for her One and Only. A long term relationship has ended and when her Transitional Man leaves town, she’s almost ready to give up and eat! She realises that Tim Tams are no substitute for love and starts searching the personal ads in the newspapers and goes online.
Jen’s roller-coaster ride to find her "Mr Right" will resonate with many women’s experiences of modern dating.
Excerpt
Jennifer lay supine on her sofa reading the column of ads in the Talking Friends section of her local paper.
“Business Man 55 y.o. seeks casual relationship with lady 18-25 yrs.” As if…
“Love to Love. Wanted - freedom loving easy living, laid back lady by laid back, lion-hearted, libido looking lover. Love to Love.” A bit too much love of alliteration, lion-hearted lover!
