Cupid's Cockups

Do you sometimes wonder if Cupid has other plans for you? Perhaps that delightful angel needs a little guidance when you hit those dating apps?




Dating is like any exercise regime. It's not as fun as they make out in all of those late-night TV infomercials and, once you start, you can't stop for fear of losing your newly-formed 'swipe' muscles. Just ask divorcee and top dating blogger Chelsea Black.




Dating after divorce isn't easy. Having been thrown out of the suburbs where single women are not allowed for fear they'll steal someone else's husband, Chelsea finds herself immersed in the world of dating. A decade later and there are the internet, mobile phones and the constant threats of cocktails to thwart her plans for finding her FuHu (Future Husband). But try she does as she asks herself what does one have to do to be truly dating ready and why are so many men not doing it?




Cupid's Cock Ups takes you through an array of dating debacles from online and sex only dating (yes, this does exist) to new fiancés and the men who seem to forget that they have a wife at home. But through it all, she manages to pick herself up and start again because there's no such thing as a date that can get you down, right?



This memoir is a tipsy and personal journey based on the blog "The mizzadventures of Chelsea Black."
