Cupid's Cockups

Dating is like any exercise regime: It's not as fun as they make out in all of those late night TV informercials and, once you start, you can't stop for fear of losing your muscles.

So dating after divorce isn't easy. Chelsea Black has been thrown out of the suburbs where single women are not allowed for fear they'll steal someone else's husband and thrown back into the dating world. A decade later and there is the internet, mobile phones and the constant threats of cocktails to thwart her plans for finding her FuHu (Future Husband). But try she does as she asks herself what does one have to do to be truly dating ready and why are so many men not doing it?

Apparently more than one bargained for.

The book takes you through all types of dating from online and sex only dating (yes this does exist) to new fiancs and the men who seem to forget that they have a wife at home. But through it all she manages to pick herself up and start again because there's no such thing as a date that can get you down, right?
