Playing The Field: a novel by J.L. Mejias

Take a glimpse into the lives of a serial dater and hopeless romantic, Cas, and his best friend and roommate, Jake, a lifelong bachelor and one-night stand king. With his 30th birthday a few years away, Cas is starting to realign his priorities, and a loving, monogamous relationship makes sense to him now more than ever. Jake, on the other hand, is "just hitting his stride" and has no plans on slowing down his no strings attached ways or free-wheeling nightlife. Cas suffers a devastating break up that sends him spiraling into a deep depression. Jake, along with old high school friends, Chen and Manolo, try to help Cas get through this tough time. As they embark on to different stages of their lives, will their friendship endure through Cas's latest depression? Have they grown too far apart to salvage their friendship? Will Cas find the one true love he so desperately seeks? Step into the dating world through the eyes of young and eligible bachelors, as they set to conquer Life, Love and Lust in New York City.
