Have I Got a Guy For You Twenty-six fresh and talented female writers wittingly revisit nightmarish blind dates they’d sooner forget – although their mothers won’t let them - in the uproarious new anthology edited by Alix Strauss, HAVE I GOT A GUY FOR YOU: What Really Happens When Mom Fixes You Up (Adams Media; $19.95 Hardcover; April 2008). Hailing from diverse backgrounds, each woman shares a common connection – determined mothers who will stop at nothing to get them down the aisle and over the threshold, even if they have to find the grooms themselves. HAVE I GOT A GUY FOR YOU introduces readers to an army of possible suitors from the too short to the too tall, to the too vain and the too hopeless with each one seeming all too familiar. Then there’s the “successful musical actor” who shows up for a date at Starbucks with only a dollar, but is dressed to the nines in all black leather and the seemingly perfect lawyer turned non-profit executive, who complains of a sore throat and ends up spouting a never-ending monologue about past girlfriends over cocktails – and tea (no honey to be had in a Manhattan martini lounge). Typically reserved for comedic effect in our favorite sitcoms or chick flicks, these dates come to life with the help of a handful of meddling mothers. |
