title: The Scale
author: Agrioyanis, Ariel
description: Claudia Mann is over thirty, and she feels that she is happy about the path her life is taking her: she is in a seven-year relationship with her college boyfriend, and she’s sure that they will get married. Also, she’s at the peak of her career and thinks that she has finally conquered Manhattan. But her worst nightmare is about to happen: a financial crisis that will affect her relationship and her job. Claudia now finds herself afraid of becoming a complete failure: over thirty, single, alone, and unemployed. She realizes that the only way to go on is to use “the scale,” a new tool that she developed, based on her ex-boyfriend, to find the right man. Would she find him?
