Synopsis

Kia Carson, a Los Angeles district attorney with beauty, brains, taste, and style, is about to turn thirty-five. There's just one problem with her picture-perfect life -- she's not got one eligible man in sight. Well, thank God she has her career . . . at least until she gets suspended from her job. To regain her sense of purpose, she plans a restorative girl's night out -- all the way to Europe.

In this fresh and funny Los Angeles Times bestseller, Kia embarks on what becomes a defining journey to London, Paris, and Greece, where she finds a little bit of trouble, a whole lot of laughs, and what she didn't even know she was looking for -- herself.

Synopsis:

Kia Carson, a 30-somethinger caught in the crosshairs of career and love, romps her way through Europe, one hilarious misadventure at a time. When the good men all done gone flown away to get married, or turn out to be gay or just not good at all, what's a girl to do? LA district attorney Kia Carson - beautiful, brainy and very very single - has the answer. On the eve of her 35th birthday, with not a decent man in sight to help her celebrate (not to mention settle down and get busy) - and a career that has suddenly sprung a major leak, the stylish sister hatches a plan with her best friends. A Girl's Night Out. To Europe. Her friends enthusiastically agree. Then bail. Undeterred and alone, Kia embarks on an extraordinary odyssey to London, Paris and Greece - where she finds a little bit of trouble, a whole lot of laughs and something she didn't realise she was looking for in the first place - herself.
