Available: A Memoir of Heartbreak, Hookups, Love and Brunch

Matteson Perry is a Nice Guy. He remembers birthdays, politely averts his eyes on the subway, and enjoys backgammon. A serial monogamist, he's never asked a stranger out. But when the girl he thought might be The One dumps him, he decides to turn his life around.

He comes up with The Plan:
!. Be single for a year.
2. Date a lot of women.
3. Hurt no one's feelings.

A quick-witted everyman, Perry throws himself into the modern world of courtship. The result is a candid, poignant, devastatingly funny real-life rom-com about learning to date, finding love, and becoming better at life.
