Like many young people everywhere, playwright Maria Headley
had had her fill of terrible dates. Discouraged and looking
for love, she decided the time had come for her to eliminate
her own (clearly not adequately discriminating) taste from
the equation. Instead-as she vowed to her roommates one
frustrated morning-she would date every person who asked her
out for an entire year, regardless of circumstances. It
would be her Year of Yes.
Leaving her judgment and
predispositions at the door, our heroine ventured into a
world suddenly brimming with opportunity and found herself
saying yes to:
* The Microsoft Millionaire who still lived
with his mom.
* An actor she had previously sworn off as
gay.
* And finally the significantly older man, divorced with
kids, who she never would have looked at twice before the
Year of Yes-and to whom she is now happily
married.
Hilariously funny and ultimately inspirational, The
Year of Yes will appeal to every person who has turned down
a date for the wrong reason.
