Love doesn’t come easy, and one young woman must decide if she should simply settle for a man who’s just okay or take a risk on the perfect man who lives across the globe.
Monica is a girl whose standards have hit rock bottom. Approaching 30, she’s exhausted from the dating scene. Her friend constantly sets her up with men that sounds great on paper but end up undesirable in person. But she continues to go—having dated so many losers, she feels like she has nothing left to lose. That’s when she meets Mark the most interesting man so far. She doesn’t even care that he has some baggage—baggage that has a name and face and harnesses her every chance she gets.
But hey, everyone has a skeleton in the closet, right? Could he be the one, imperfections aside? Will she bother to press the issue? Should she just bolt for the door and forget the whole thing? Before she can decide, things get complicated when she meets a guy who encompasses everything she looks for in a man. There's just one problem: he lives in another country.
In this exciting first novel, Laurel Handfield deftly captures the moments of humor, frustration, hope, and uncertainty that are inevitable parts of every new relationship. Sarcastic, heartwarming, and always entertaining, My Diet Starts Tomorrow will appeal to anyone who's been knocked down by the dating scene—only to get right back up and into it again.
