Contemporary Women's Fiction
Amelia Lockwood doesn't mean to sound greedy. With a
fabulous career in
television, a posh apartment, and four fiercely loyal and
wickedly
funny friends, she knows she should be counting her lucky
stars. But as
her thirties tick by at an alarming pace, Amelia is getting
anxious
about the one thing missing in her otherwise successful
life—a husband!
If it's not too much to ask the universe, Amelia wants a
husband—not a
boyfriend, not a lover, not even a mind-bending one-night
fling—but a
wedding band and the Vera Wang gown of her dreams. When she
sees an ad
for a night course entitled How to Find a Husband over the
Age of
Thirty-five, she finally makes up her mind to have it all—an
old-fashioned ring on her finger by the end of the year. So
after
twenty years of going it on her own, Amelia swallows her
pride, signs
up for dating boot camp, and enlists the help of a
professional.
Enter Ira Vandergelder—a native New Yorker with a black belt in
tongue-fu, a woman who's snappier than a crocodile handbag
and more
acidic than a chili finger dipped in your eye—who trains the
hopelessly
romantic Amelia to apply business marketing principles to
the world of
dating, to become goal-driven and to pursue her dream husband in
exactly the same way she'd pursue her dream job. Even if
this involves
tracking down all the men she's ever loved and lost before.
With the constant support and biting commentary of her tight
foursome of friends, Amelia revisits her bumpy romantic
past—from the
first love who dumped her during Live Aid to the most recent ex,
officially dubbed
he-who's-name-shall-forever-remain-unspoken.
As Amelia recognizes that her future happiness can't wait
for fate, she
has to tackle lesson number one: If you can't learn from
your past, how
can you expect to move forward? Sharp, witty, and irresistibly funny, Remind Me Again Why
I Need a Man
cuts to the heart of every single man and woman out there.
Claudia
Carroll examines the rules of attraction in a sophisticated and
refreshing way. This beautifully written novel will have
your heart
pounding until the final page.
