Oh, I related a great deal to this one! It’s a great concept, and well-executed.Jan, a thirty-year-old corporate gal, hasn’t been kissed in about three years (well, nine hundred and twenty-two days, as she puts it!) She’s having a “pity party the size of Brazil” because she needs to show up to her parents’ anniversary party with a gorgeous man in tow. Problem is…she isn’t dating anyone. To complicate matters, she’s conned her mom (one of my favorite characters) into believing that she has a hot date every day of the week.Of course, Jan is surrounded by co-workers and family who are either married or “terminally engaged, “ as she puts it. (Seriously, did this author spy on my life? I kept laughing at all of the similarities.;-)I enjoyed the witty banter of the characters. Ms. Zetterwall definitely has a handle on this, and a lot of the dialogue made me giggle. Also, I especially enjoyed her rapport with Glen and the other male characters, like Tom. The book did a great job of exploring different areas of relationships, from those who have been happily married for forty years to those who have been struggling to find a special someone. A must-read!
