Synopsis:

ARE YOU FEELING ALONE IN THE LAND OF HAPPY COUPLES?

Afraid to download a dating app? Nervous to go on a first date? Curious what online dating is like? Upset that you're never "the one?" Too many duds and not enough studs? You are far from alone...

TAMAR TREMAINE has gone on hundreds of first dates and chatted online with thousands of men over the last ten years. On a few occasions, she has even gone on as many as three dates in one day. (Not recommended.) According to Malcolm Gladwell, author of Outliers, it takes 10,000 hours and approximately ten years to become an expert. Tamar has easily spent 10,000 hours swiping, going on dates, and staring at her phone waiting for that cute guy to text her back. However, this book is not "Tamar Tremaine: Expert in Online Dating." This book is for you. Through a series of highly relatable short stories, Tamar reveals her crazy dating history. From in-person dating, to online dating, to quarantine dating, Tamar inspires readers to keep trying, download that app, and go on that date. After all, there's usually a good story in the end!

About the Authors: Tamar Tremaine is an architect with a side job as a professional online dater. She went to a few great universities, and won a few awards. In elementary school, she was selected out of hundreds of students for the "Optimist" award. This is her first book. She doesn't consider herself an author, but rather a normal person with a lot of great stories to tell.

Alessandor Earnest is a developmental editor for speculative fiction books, comics, and short stories. Occasionally, she does the odd humorous memoir. She also coaches neurodiverse writers to help them finish writing the books they start! She is such a great editor that one of her writers let her tattoo her face on his ass. It looks terrible. She hosts a month-long virtual writing con, Writers of Strange Fiction. Yellow is her favorite color. She uses way too many exclamation marks in professional emails. Her not-so-guilty pleasure is writing and editing second person POV.
