Publisher's Synopsis
Men are lining up to seek advice from relationship guru Lydia Birnbaum. But can the psychotherapist who sleeps alone every night really help?
When the realization that she's lived over half a century lights a fire under Lydia Birnbaum's rapidly aging but still shapely tush, she decides it's time to take a new approach to dating - one drawn from her training as a psychotherapist. Determined to avoid the romantic mistakes she's made in the past, she launches an intriguing research project on Facebook. When "Project Ex" (as in "ex-boyfriends") unexpectedly turns Lydia into Philadelphia's radio relationship-guru sensation, she attracts the attention of Jared Abrams, a jaded food critic turned investigative reporter who assumes a fake identity as a new therapy client in an effort to unmask her as a fraud.
Before long, Lydia finds herself on a journey of self-discovery - a journey that will take her far beyond the empirical findings of Project Ex, far beyond her past and into her own heart, where she'll find what she's been looking for all along.
