A Belle in Brooklyn: Advice for Living Your Single Life and Enjoying Mr. Right Now

Dating can feel like a race, and many single women spend so much energy worrying about finding Mr. Right that they forget to enjoy the years before they find him. This guide takes the opposite view. Drawing on the writer's own experience, it offers practical dos and don'ts for the modern dating scene while celebrating the freedom and pleasures of being single. It argues for personal growth, self-confidence and a sense of fun, and offers concrete tools for improving the chances of meeting a suitable partner when the time is right.
