In her search for true love, Cindy Chupack endured enough emotional wreckage to fill a New York Times-bestselling book, two magazine columns, and five seasons of Sex and the City. Finally, at the age of thirty-eight, Cindy met Ian, and despite his bad-boy ways, he turned out to be a romantic (he proposed on a beach at sunset, on a horse, dressed as a knight), but Cindy soon discovers 'happily ever after' is the epitome of lazy writing, and having a husband is a lot like having a permanent houseguest.
This is Cindy's hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking story of her failed first marriage to Perfect Man #1 (who, after two years, realized he was gay), meeting Perfect Man #2 (Ian), and their mutual realization that matrimony is a matter of constant negotiation about pets, cooking, travel, holidays, space, money, and sex. When Cindy and Ian start trying to have a baby, the endeavor turns out to be far more complicated than they ever could have anticipated. This humorous, helpful, and hopeful book is a must-read for anyone trying to navigate a marriage or start a family.
