"Judy never intended to start wearing the dog. But when she stumbled across her son Teddy's old baby sling during a halfhearted basement cleaning, something in her snapped. So: the dog went into the sling, Judy felt connected to another living being, and she's repeated the process every day since. Life hasn't gone according to Judy's plan. Her career as a children's book author offered a glimpse of success before taking an embarrassing nose dive. Teddy, now a teenager, treats her with some combination of mortification and indifference. Her best friend is dying. And her husband, Gary, has become a pot-addled professional "snackologist" who she can't afford to divorce. On top of it all, she has a painfully ironic job writing articles for a self-help website, a poor fit for someone seemingly incapable of helping herself."--Publisher description

True love doesn't just happen, notes professional matchmaker Patti Novak. You have to work for it--and want it. Forget speed dates or online dating sites with twenty-page questionnaires.

Finding your one and only is about being true to yourself, being vulnerable, and being ready for love. Taking a tough-love approach, and in her signature straight-shooting style, Patti will show you how to fix what needs to be fixed, reach your core, and identify who you are and what you want in a partner. Whether you're new to the dating scene, divorced and looking, or just trying to reach that second date, this book will help you get the love you've always wanted--and deserve.--From publisher description
