A Darker Bridget Jones from Minneapolis
Cover Art
The porcelain woman on this book's cover is meaningful and when you get to the end of Jennifer Johnson is Sick of Being Single you understand why. Jennifer, in her early thirties, lives in Minneapolis, barely tolerates her job as copywriter at Keller's, a family run department store, and has many disastrous first dates (these are so fun to read). Self-deprecating Jennifer enjoys her vintage toys (she spends a lot of time playing with a miniature dollhouse and its Tinkertoy family... this is therapeutic for her) and she considers the salesgirl at Cinnabon her hero. Then she meets Brad Keller, the handsome and rich son of her employer. The Star Tribune said, "This brash and funny novel plays with the form, with a dark, intelligent and wholly unexpected conclusion. Jennifer is uncomfortable, wickedly funny and ultimately likable..."
