Gold's nameless female protagonist is outspoken, sometimes crude, confident, and single. Finding a boyfriend or husband who meets her criteria--handsome, smart, Jewish, financially secure, fun, and sexy--has been no easy task. While she roams the Jewish singles scene in London with girlfriends who are also unattached, the narrator begins to understand herself better. Why does she continue to practice law when she doesn't enjoy it? Why does she shy away from attractive, grounded, serious men and instead pursue sexy but commitment-shy boys who cannot grow up? Why does she like the drama so much? As with most modern single-women tales, Gold's heroine cannot find a husband until she finds herself, but she acquires many funny (if sometimes frustrating) stories. Gold rarely mentions married life as she fills the narrator's world with singles, some looking to settle down, others just looking for a good time. Readers will enjoy this tale full of raunchy humor, alcohol, drugs, and late nights, as well as the heroine's diatribes on solo life in a big, cosmopolitan city.
