This book is a well-written book down that I loved. The world of Luna Lampanelli's is crazy and then she finds out her husband is a closet gay. Then she joins match.com dating, and it all goes topsy turvy. Trying to balance dating with her career as a writer, her friendships, her children, and dealing with her c her parents and childhood. Reading this book will take you through her funny and moving adventures in in a new dating life. Things go crazy Luna turns to unconventional amusing and not so sane avenues to find her true self and to find a new life. This book is a great read and will find you feeling empathy, joy, laughter and even tears for Luna.

I liked this book. It's fairly explicit sexually, more so than I expected, so that might not be for everyone. However, it's also funny, believable, and relatable. I like Luna.

For those of you who have navigated through the freakshow of that rite of passage known as adult dating, I present to you, Luna...who truly is experiencing that phenomenon. Ending her marriage as an almost 40-something woman, to a closet gay man addicted to porn, she finds herself in disastrous relationship after disastrous relationship. If you ever thought YOUR man picker was off, well, Luna will make you feel like you are a champion!!! This story is oftentimes both funny and sad, as we join Luna try to figure out herself and her relationship with men, her mother, her father, her ex-husband, her children, her best friend, and her inner voice (who she calls Jiminy).

It was a delightful, if long, read!

I tried really hard to get into this book, but I wasn't able to make it work for me. Perhaps because a friend of mine is going through something similar right now, and it felt a little too close to home... I just couldn't get beyond the first chapter. For some reason the main characters didn't grab me and make me care about them as I like to care about characters in a novel.

A shallow tale of endless unloving sex with no character exploration or development. Not recommended I'm afraid.

As a recently separated older woman with two young children, I really connected strongly with this story!
I felt it was a bit slow paced, but still an easy, and enjoyable read.
