End Game

About the Book

Lauren has reached that ambiguous “certain age” in life when meeting suitable men has become incredibly difficult. Over a bottle of wine, her friends suggest she try online dating, but Lauren is reluctant. How much of her personal life does she want online, and if she does meet someone of interest, how does she know he’s not an opportunist—or worse, a serial killer? After some debate, Lauren joins the Internet dating wave. She sets out to find Mr. Right, not Mr. Right Now, although she doubts her desirability. She hasn’t felt young or sexy in years, so even if she finds a guy who is interested, what then? Will they date? Will they have sex? There are many more questions than answers in this modern age of cell phones and social media. Her dating shenanigans take her from temples to the backstreet massage parlors of Kathmandu, to Bali and Singapore, as she travels in search of an ever-elusive husband. Both hilarious and poignant, Lauren’s journey reboots her love life and her sexual prowess, but is she really ready to meet The One? For every lonely person who can’t see past the tears, falling apart is a choice—but so is starting again.
