"Riotously funny yet inspirational."
SEE JANE DATE takes a comedic look at the life of a
'swinging single' in New York City. Jane lives in a small
closet of an apartment, works at a job where her much
deserved promotion depends on the success of her nemesis
from high school, and hasn't had sex in two years. And on
top of it all her cousin is marrying a millionare. In
order
to avoid being hooked up with Grandma's next door neighbor,
and to impress Natasha, her high school arch enemy, Jane
says that she has a boyfriend. Now just what does a girl do when she needs to make a man
who doesn't exist appear? Jane's friends help her on her
mission to not only find the perfect man, but the one that
she described. Read as Jane experiences the good, the bad,
and the ugly, in a series of blind dates that are riotously
hilarious. While Jane is trying to find her dream man, she is also,
despite herself, getting to know Natasha better, and
starting to see that what's on the surface is not always
what it seems. This book is not just about romance, or
comedy, it is about relationships. As the book goes on,
Jane grows and her relationships with those around her
change, for the better and for the worse. And in the end,
Jane is a person whom she might never have thought that she
would would be. SEE JANE DATE is a hilarious book that will keep you
reading
until the very end. If you're looking for a read that will
keep you laughing, leave you feeling fulfilled, and
maybe even inspire you to change your life, be sure not to
miss SEE JANE DATE!

SummaryA FANCY AFFAIR BRIDAL SALON
FOREST HILLS, QUEENS
"Did you know that one of your hips is higher than the
other?" the seamstress asked me in a totally conversational
tone. The bridesmaid to my left eyed me in the mirror,
then her gaze dropped to my hips.
"I didn't," I said. "I never knew that. But I'm glad you
told me." The seamstress had the decency to look
embarrassed. She ducked her head back down and continued
pinning. Perhaps that had been the reason why Blind Dates
One, Two and Three hadn't been interested. It wasn't the
smoking, after all. It was my Hip Issue. And just my luck
that Blind Date Four was with a doctor, whose business it
was to notice such deformities.
SEE JANE DATE will speak to singles everywhere. At once
warm and witty, this look into the life of twenty-eight-
year-old assistant editor Jane Gregg, screams, "You are not
alone!"
Case in point: See Jane...
- Endure two months of bridesmaid hell for her younger
cousin's wedding.
- Brilliantly dodge being fixed up with Grammy's next-door
neighbor by fibbing that she, um, already HAS a boyfriend.
- Date... like crazy to find one suitable guy to bring to
said wedding.
Okay, find one suitable guy to LOVE.
Was that so much to ask?
