Description
‘Shocking, tender and funny… as gripping as a thriller’ Miranda Sawyer
Mind-boggling, heart-rending and darkly comic, this is the full story for the first time, from the writer of the Guardian column Midlife Exwife….
When her husband fell in love with someone else, Stella Grey thought she’d be unhappy for the rest of her life. But then she realised that she needed to take her future in her own hands. She needed to meet someone wonderful, and find a heartfix for heartbreak.
So, she joined online dating sites and embarked on a mission. What followed were 693 days of encounters, on screen and in person: dates in cafés and over glasses of astringent red wine, short term relationships and awkward sex, but mostly there were phone calls and emails (many, many emails). Her journey was never dull, featuring marriage proposals, invitations to Tangier, badly timed food poisoning and much younger men – but was it ultimately successful?
Totally compulsive, painfully true and darkly comic, this is an unputdownable account of one woman’s search for love online.

Eye-opening and brutally honest. A terrific - if uncomfortable - read
Angela M, Reviewer
I would like to thank netgalley for this copy in exchange for an honest review.
Stella is on the hunt for a man and this book follows her real life quest on online dating sites, which I have to admit there seems a lot of but I suppose when you haven't had to look yourself you never know what's out there!!
This book seems to capture Stella's desperation and resilience well and my god does she have resilience. The book is a diary of her life whilst searching for her soul mate but documents the men who are there genuinely searching and the ones wanting to get off on a boob flash. This was a very honest account I thought of her feelings and has definately prepared me god forbid if I had to start online dating, as after reading this I don't actually think I'm cut out for it!!
