Latte Lessons $0.99 Single Life Is Full Of Questions……imponderables such as: “Is it possible to transform an addiction to reality dating shows into a substitute for actual dating?” and “Is scanning demographic lists of available men with nice (read: British-sounding) names and upscale addresses more dignified if one does it in the privacy of one’s apartment with a bottle of wine and an equally romance-challenged friend?” Not having all the answers doesn’t keep thirty-year-old Claire Duncan up at night. She loves her job as a copywriter at a small Venice Beach advertising and promotion agency-even though it’s not making her much money. She loves her hemp drawstring capris-even though they’re not getting her any dates. And she loves her mother-who in turn despairs of ever having grandchildren. But Claire’s comfortable, moderately caffeinated routine gets a double-espresso jolt when she’s given the assignment of promoting an up-and-coming pop band. Heartthrob needs a change of image. And lead guitarist Brendan Baker has Claire rethinking her don’t-date-the-clients-no-matter-how-hot-they-are rule. His earnest brown-eyed gaze makes her feel like an underwear-throwing groupie. Which is quite below her, if you ask her co-worker Dennis-whose own revived love life leaves something to be desired, if you ask Claire. Suddenly-and quite accidentally-Claire has become someone to whom cute twenty-something boys (as well as guy pals and ex-boyfriends) are attracted, and everything has become just a tad more complicated than before. Not to mention a hell of a lot more fun… |
