Elle Sheffield can barely pay the rent on her one bedroom Upper East Side apartment. Her life has been difficult lately and her most dependable companion is powered by AA batteries. Unfortunately, after 10 years of loyal service, "Mr. Bunny" breaks down for good, leaving Elle quite frustrated.
While shopping for a new pink plastic bunny vibrator, Elle runs into Leah Weber, her old high school rival. Elle is desperate for publicity for her struggling Life Coach business, so she finds herself spending more time with Leah, who claims to have connections at The New York Times. Leah's good intentions may prove false, but Elle will risk everything so she can finally put what happened in high school behind her. To further complicate matters, Elle still hasn't been able to afford a new vibrator. Is finding a real man to satisfy her needs even worth the hassle?
This coming of age story may take place when Elle is almost 40, but everyone will relate to the insecurities from her youth and her embarrassment about her family. Ms. O'Reilly's characters talk about vibrators without giving a particular endorsement, but from her descriptions, Elle would probably recommend the Hitachi Magic Wand, the Wahl, or the Rabbit Habit, all available online from Toys in Babeland. As a life coach, Elle has her flaws, but her heart is in the right place at the end of this enjoyable romantic comedy.
