{"product_id":"9781624883354","title":"Fishtails: Men Who Bite, Dates That Suck, And Other Cautionary Tales From A Mid-Life Fishing Expedition","description":"FISHTAILS is a collection of essays that chronicle one woman’s hilarious - and often poignant - journey through a very modern midlife. Pushed into singlehood right before her 50th birthday, she begins Internet dating on a site called Plenty of Fish - which is appropriately named since her “pond” is a Northern California city that boasts more men than women. Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany’s is her single life role model, and her fishing buddies include a platonic male roommate and a band of female friends who call themselves “The Tail Club” and assign points for every cocktail you don’t have to pay for. \u003cbr\u003eUsing the metaphor of fishing (for men, for a soul mate, and for a better second half of a life,) FISHTAILS tackles sociological issues like the myth of monogamy and “cougardom” with humorous veracity. As our “Holly” encounters many fish; like one who nearly bites off her lower lip, another she thinks will someday kill her, and a polyamorous paramour who invites her to live on his ranch with his wife and two girlfriends, we learn that dating at mid-life has more drama than dating in high school.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Dub Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47148819579120,"sku":"9781624883354","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781624883354_p0.jpg?v=1763861826","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781624883354","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
