This is the story of five 50-plus women looking for good men in today’s dating world. They try everything from newspaper ads, a cruise, a dance, nightclubs, church single groups and Internet match-making sites, where they meet an array of undesirable and obnoxious male characters. After Sandy Applegate, the main character and narrator, comes up with a plan based on “You have to kiss 50 frogs before you find your prince,” her four friends decide to give it a try. However, they continue to meet frogs and find themselves in bizarre and often embarrassing situations. They finally change match-making sites on the advice of an old friend, where Sandy meets a handsome doctor. But she embarrasses herself on their first date and discovers that she is a frog. After making some personal changes and setting their sights higher, the gals begin to experience a change of luck on this new match-making site. Spying on each other, a surprise 50-year pregnancy, a series of mishaps and outrageous doggie behavior moves the story along. In the end, each gal finds her prince or princes. Woven into the story is Sandy’s neurotic pint-sized English bulldog, who creates havoc for his mistress and all who meet him, especially the gentlemen callers. This odd little pooch leads Sandy straight to her prince—a “Canine Behavior Specialist.” Winchester also finds happiness with the help of Prozac and a new doggie playmate.
