Publisher's Summary

Finding love is all a matter of timing in a surprising, complicated, and funny memoir by the author of A Marriage in Dog Years.

When a mysterious woman summons Nancy Balbirer to a Russian restaurant in New York City, the near stranger’s shocking purple hair and even more shocking news send Balbirer simultaneously reeling back to her past and hurtling toward a future that, at almost fifty years old, she never dreamed possible. This romantic-comedy memoir tells the true story of how a pack of Hollywood television writers and the denizens of a fabled but cursed Manhattan apartment building helped the author and one of her best friends turn a thirty-two-year almost romance into a real one.

Witty and heartfelt, Nancy Balbirer’s sublime memoir proves that love is possible anywhere, anytime, and at any age.

“A lively, zesty memoir. Movie buffs, wordplay-loving readers, and hopeless never-say-die-to-love romantics will enjoy this happy-ever-after tale.”Booklist

“In this new memoir, Balbirer tells the story of a romance more than 30 years in the making, and brings readers along on the equally funny, heartbreaking, and exhilarating adventure to make it work.”Town & Country
