Description

This is Sex & the City for the next generation. It's the witty, charming, and absolutely true account of Marcy Miller, a competent, attractive professional woman, as she struggles to re-enter the dating world after an esteem-killing divorce of an adulterous husband. Set in the opulent oasis of Beverly Hills, Marcy riffs on pickups, fix-ups, internet dating, matchmaking, divorce, and all the other craziness -- like psychics, girlfriends, and sex -- that pop up along the road of leaving single life behind. This fun, engaging memoir, written by a loveable and slightly saucy storyteller, is for anyone who has faced rejection and the need to start again. It's for anyone who still searches for love. A hilarious look at the world of dating, this book is full of great stories, helpful advice, Beverly Hills glamour, and fun.

Reviews

A quick and compelling book that sets forth, in side-splittingly funny fashion, Marcy Miller's many adventures as she struggles to re-enter the dating world after a disastrous divorce from an adulterous husband. Marcy's a little saucy and it's easy to empathize with her search for love. The book wasn't written for me, or any other man, but I loved it, and most men will, too, I bet. -Ed Feldman, Producer of Witness, The Truman Show, 101 Dalmations, etc. Not many women can pull of a memoir that is, at the same time, so revealing, so funny, and so helpful. Bravo! -Jennifer Dynof, President, LoweProfile (Rob Lowe's Production Company) This book is a great readcompelling, engaging, funny, entertaining, acerbic, so honest, revealing, and deeply human. By the end, it's quite hopeful because ultimately it's a story about recreating/rebuilding one's life because of one's will, one's determination, one's smarts, one's great friendships, one's sense of humor, one's strength, and one's ability to trust again. This is a book that is going to help people. -Irwin Kula, Rabbi, Author of Yearnings: Embracing the Sacred Messiness of Life (one of the 10 best spiritual books of 2006), and regular guest on NBC's Today Show Such a stitch! -Paula Schneider, CEO, Big Strike LLC, a Portfolio Company of the Gores Group As a twenty-something facing the challenges of dating, I found Marcy Miller to be informative and inspirational. We can all learn from her journey. -Amy Gregg, Jewelry Executive
