Description

In Molly Shapiro’s fun and sexy debut novel, four women try to sort through the wild and complicated world of text messaging, status updates, and other high-speed connections.  
 
Best friends and fellow midwesterners Katie, Annie, Maxine, and Claudia are no strangers to dealing with love and relationships, but with online dating and social networking now in the mix, they all have the feeling they’re not in Kansas anymore. Katie, a divorced mother of two, secretly seeks companionship through the Internet only to discover that the rules of the dating game have drastically changed. Annie, a high-powered East Coast transplant, longs for a baby, yet her online search for a sperm donor is not as easy—or anonymous—as she anticipates. Maxine, a successful artist with a seemingly perfect husband, turns to celebrity gossip sites to distract herself from her less-than-ideal marriage. And Claudia, tired of her husband’s obsession with Facebook, finds herself irresistibly drawn to a handsome co-worker. As these women navigate the new highs and lows of the digital age, they each find that their wrong turns lead surprisingly to the right click and, ultimately, the connection they were seeking.
In Molly Shapiro’s fun and sexy debut novel, four women try to sort through the wild and complicated world of text messaging, status updates, and other high-speed connections.

Advance Praise

"Point, Click, Love is a thoroughly engaging debut novel about a group of Midwestern women grappling with the mysteries of love, marriage, and children. Molly Shapiro writes with wit, insight, and a light touch." --New York Times bestselling author Tom Perrotta

"The Social Network meets Rona Jaffe's ‘50s classic The Best of Everything in this timely page-turner about four thirty-to-forty something women friends whose lives are irrevocably changed by the power of the Internet - from Facebook and Match.com to celebrity e-zines and sperm donor web sites. Written in a compelling narrative and set in the Midwest, this isn't a book about technology; it's a story about love, marriage, divorce, infidelity, career and child-rearing. The author does a terrific job of capturing the zeitgeist of 21st century women." -- Jane Heller, author of Female Intelligence

"Molly Shapiro's debut is sassy and hilarious." --Michael Lee West, author of Gone with a Handsomer Man
