Darcy Dates - by Jena Kingsley (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Darcy Dates is a hilarious and unfiltered dating diary based on the popular 2010 blog of the same name. Written at a time when people clung to their BlackBerrys, Instagram didn't exist, and there was no debate over whether or not skinny jeans were cool. They just were. Seven years of marriage, one child and one divorce later, Darcy found herself back in the dating pool of New York City. Only things were different. She was a single mom living on the Upper East Side, navigating dating as an adult, where people carried more baggage than any bellhop at the Pierre could handle. One night, alone in her room, she began to document her dates in the form of a blog. The blog became her diary. This book is her diary. Darcy Dates is the perfect balance of comedic, cringey and touching. You will belly laugh, you may tear up, you may want to look away at times. Most importantly the reader will be cheering Darcy on in her quest for love. But over time she starts to wonder... maybe it's not love she was looking for all along. Maybe she was just looking for herself. Names and locations have been changed to protect the innocent.

Review Quotes

"Jena is the rare author who is as good at storytelling as she is at making her readers squirm from TMI and ache from belly laughs."
