New Review

"4
STARS!...This book is hilarious. Anyone who has been divorced and thrown back
into the dating scene as a mother needs to read this. Descriptions, such as “the
bitter flavor of ex-husband” cracked me up. ..This is a story about girlfriends,
too. Without friends, how would a woman survive the dating scene? This book is
relatable and so funny. Read it and recommend it to your friends."--Stephanie
Rollins, Review Your Book

Blurb:

Screw
Cinderella!

Miranda Gilbert is convinced that she will never be queen of the
neighborhood, but who cares? It's time for the average girl to have some fun.
But first she needs to say goodbye to her cheating husband, and what better way
than a billboard? The modern girl's magic wand!

Her stunt makes her a
suburban demi-celeb, but the glamour quickly fades, and Miranda decides that her
work and twin four-year-olds are her calling in life. Resigned to the mundane,
the last thing she wants is another relationship. Or so she thinks until a
chance meeting with a British-born photographer makes her reconsider
celibacy.

Excerpt:

...It always took longer to drive
into downtown Chicago than Miranda anticipated. No matter what the season there
were roads dug up and the traffic was down to one bottlenecked lane.

Miranda
blamed Richard. After the incident at the wake, she decided to blame him for
everything. Every dark cloud in the sky, each spot of bird crap on her
windshield, each green light she missed was now his fault.

By the time
Miranda made it to the three-story brick building across from Harpo Studios, she
had three minutes to make her appointment for the consumer survey.
Judging by
the distance she had parked from the building she would have to become a
world-class sprinter to make it there on time. All those years of skipping the
gym suddenly came back to haunt her.

Regardless, she ran.

In a jean skirt,
fitted blouse, and pumps Miranda ran like a gazelle with her purse tucked under
her arm. She tried not to think of what she really looked like prancing down the
street. A hundred bucks for an hour of telling a panel of people how she liked
shampoo was a hundred bucks worth running for.

Miranda pressed the call
button twice and finally something that sounded like a reply came through the
speaker.

“Can you hear me?”

“Bzzz.”

Miranda shifted her weight and
sighed. “Hi, I’m running a little late. I’m here for the survey.”

“Wuzzz zuur
Name.”

“My name?”

“Vruzzz.”

“Miranda Gilbert.”

“Zoll zon.”

“I
swear I’m not stalking you,” a distinctly British voice said from behind.

The
door buzzed just as Miranda looked over her shoulder. Before she could open it
and walk inside, the door locked again.

Garic Wenham was standing behind her
in a dark blue button-down shirt and khaki pants. He pulled off his sunglasses
and placed them in his shirt pocket. In his right hand he had what looked like a
laptop bag.

“You again,” Miranda said as she reached for the doorknob. Even
though she knew it had locked she tried again. “I’m beginning to wonder if you
are stalking me.”
