Book Description:
A novel about men . . . and the woman who loves them!

When one ex-boyfriend gets married, a girl can laugh it off. With two, she begins to get nervous. But three? Three?

Angie DiFranco is starting to take it personally. What is it about her that doesn't incite men to plunk down large sums of money in the name of eternal love?

According to her one successfully married friend, men are like tight lids. One woman comes along, loosens him up, leaving him for the next woman to pop off the lid, no problem. After all, would Jennifer have landed Brad so easily without the Gwyneth factor?

Suddenly Angie looks at Kirk, her current boyfriend, with new eyes. Kirk, whose last girlfriend loosened his lid by giving him The Ultimatum. Kirk, who suddenly seems primed to be popped right open.

If the tight-lid theory is true, Angie could be married within a year -- with a little effort. And a little help from her friends . . .

The author of Confessions of an Ex-Girlfriend will utterly engage you with her vibrant new novel chronicling Angie's angst and euphoria as she resolves to mate and make it in Manhattan.

Substandard chick-lit rife with stale stereotypes - a few cute moments but overall a bore. The main character isn't believable.

According to Angie's friend Michelle, men are like jars: they need their "lids" loosened before they're ready to take the plunge into marriage. Angie's boyfriend, Kirk, is a prime candidate for lid loosening, and with the help of Michelle, Angie starts being less available and more mysterious, and it works. She gets the long-coveted invite to Kirk's parents' house, and Kirk becomes even more passionate, at least when he's not consumed by his work. Angie's own career as an actress is floundering, in large part because she hasn't been going to auditions since being cast in an exercise program for children on cable. When a big network expresses interest in the show, Angie is forced to decide whether she wants to chose the safe route or pursue more challenging opportunities. And as Kirk inches closer to the big proposal, doubts begin to plague Angie: Is he really the guy for her?

Angie is 31 and feels the clock ticking. Why is it that none of her past boyfriends propose marriage. An engaging book similar to Sex in the City about a young woman navigating through relationships.
