A candid, humorous dating memoir from a fresh, edgy, and distinctive new female voice

Single girls today are smarter, stronger, and funnier, and journalist Alison Taylor is the witty voice for this new generation of women who are looking for "the one" but not willing to undergo a personality lobotomy in the process. Covering 12 months in the life of one ever-hopeful--but never desperate--romantic, this book charts what happens before a date, during a date, and when there are no dates. Hanging out at music festivals, bars, and various capital cities, readers join the self-styled "lovefool" and friends on her quest for fun, romance, and someone to care about. On her travels, Alison asks the tough questions, like: What does that text really mean? Did you shave that yourself? and Are you fucking kidding me? Alison's adventures will ring true with a whole generation of cool, educated, and ambitious women who can't quite believe that there are so few hot, single straight guys out there. But that doesn't stop them from looking and hoping, and hoping and looking.
