Her journey out of the Stone Age hits freaky, hilarious turbulence when she joins an Internet dating service. The scammers and weirdoes she meets in cyberspace make Cindy want to crawl back into her cave, until she receives an accidental email from Jay DeMatteo. Jay has the dating blues, too, but after meeting Cindy, reconsiders his options. Now it’s up to him to convince her it’s never too late to pursue a meaningful relationship, even when a couple is struggling with midlife adolescence.

My Review: Ricci has written a wonderful book full of romance and humor. There were so many laugh out loud moments in regards to internet dating sites, and actual first dates. In life, one oftens finds one must get through the vinegar before finding the perfect love. Five stars.
