This book is about romantic dates gone horribly wrong. We've all experienced dates brimming with horror, comedy, drama, tension, and lunacy. Sometimes in the same evening. This fiction short story collection captures the vulnerability, desperation, and bravery of putting yourself out there. The characters in these stories are undergoing the worst date of their lives. And wouldn't you rather experience that thrill vicariously? It certainly seems a sound investment to plunk down a nominal fee for this book rather than go through the worst date ever yourself. And who knows, maybe you'll learn some meaningful life lessons along the way. Or at the very least, you can shimmy this book under the table leg and finally fix that annoying wobble. You have to admit, this book is an ideal thickness for such repairs. Wait, where were we... Whether on a first date, a weekend getaway with a significant other, or the target of an intricate revenge scheme, these characters reflect the spectrum of emotions and reactions when we decide to lower our guard and let somebody in. And then it all goes spectacularly Hindenburg. Reading these stories should make you a more cautious dater. Or an expert wobbly-table-fixer. Either way: Best. Purchase. Ever.
