We’re going to need a bigger drink…
Meet Frankie: fifty, divorced and getting back on the horse.
After leaving Twatface – her husband of twenty years – she s starting again from scratch. And when her son also flees the nest for university, Frankie decides it’s time to throw herself back into the dating game with a vengeance.
On best friend Bel s recommendation, Frankie signs up to two dating apps: one for love, another for casual hook-ups (because why the f**k not?!).
However, as she navigates this new frontier of catfishing, kittenfishing, ghosts, GILFs and everything in between, she realises the whole dating thing has changed quite a bit – and it really is a bloody jungle out there…
Will Frankie find love on the apps? Or the perfect shag?
Or – if there’s any justice in the world – both?
