Jules Rules

Jules Strawberry's liberal "never say no" dating policy has sent her on hundreds of dates. But the crazy dates-you know, the ones you tell your friends about over drinks-taught her a series of life lessons that encouraged her to develop two running lists: rules for dating and must-have character traits for a man.

As crazy and incomprehensible as these stories may be, they are all true. In the vein of "Bridget Jones's Diary "and the chick lit of Kim Gruenenfelder, "Jules Rules" recounts a single date in each chapter and then presents the rules and traits gleaned from that hard-and usually hilarious-experience. The old saying holds true: "You have to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince." And Strawberry can tell you all about it in vivid, comical detail.

So grab a glass of wine, curl up in a cozy chair, and laugh along with Jules's many adventures as she navigates from her first date as an innocent teenager to the ongoing struggles of adulthood as a single parent.
