Resumen del Editor

At twenty-three, Kayli Stollak, like most starry-eyed twenty-somethings, assumed that she and her boyfriend, Charlie, would be together forever. Besides a rockin' sex life, they shared a passion for motorcycle adventures, hedonistic European music festivals, and wearing matching glittery spandex to the disco. What more could a gal ask for? She envisioned their love burning well into their sixties.

And then he dumped her.

Heartbroken, Kayli turned to her seventy-five-year-old granny for support. And this ain't no ordinary granny. Granny Gail is a ball-busting, shit-talking, gossipy yenta with an anecdote or piece of unsolicited advice for every situation. Granny didn't sugarcoat the truth or let Kayli dwell on her failed relationship. No, Granny told her to cut the crap and snap out of it. Why didn't Kayli give "one of those dating websites" a shot? With her ego on the line, Kayli threw the dare right back at her - if it was so wonderful, why didn't single Granny join her in the world of cyber romance?

Granny Is My Wingman chronicles Kayli's and Granny's misadventures in online dating. What ensues is a hilarious tour through the obstacles of modern love: drunken hookups, late-night Facebook stalking, breathy phone calls with geriatric suitors, and the occasional rude dude. While Kayli powers through a marathon of OkCupid dates - the corporate drone married to his BlackBerry, the nail-biting thirty-three-year-old who still lives at home with his mom, the serial online dater - we learn about Granny's romantic past and the bittersweet affair she carried on, even while married, for more than thirty years. The two women cheer each other on and become even closer as they share their dating exploits, learning that the hunt for happiness is the same whether you're twenty-five or seventy-five.

Fresh, funny, and honest, Granny Is My Wingman is an audiobook for anyone who has ever found love, lost it, and been crazy enough to do it all over again.

Love LOVE!!

This book was awesome and I fell in love with it. The audio book help make my work day so much easier to deal with. Thanks

A little bit horrifying and a lot of laughs

I Googled Kayli Stollak after reading an article by her and being impressed with her writing. That is how I found this book. I must admit it's not my usual fare but Stollak's story telling flare is definitely on display in this snarky story about the online dating adventures of a 20-something single and the Granny who inspires her.

Clever, cheeky and sometimes sophmorically crude, (her editors really should have taken a red pen to the silly graphic innuendos), Granny Is My Wingman is a original story from a talented writer.

I look forward to seeing what she writes next.

Excellent surprise

I am neither a chick lit or rom com fan. So cutesy girl dating tell all would be out. But I had an awesome relationship with my grandmother and I miss her very much. Kindle unlimited threw this at me when I was looking at books on cat breeding (don't ask). Flashing back to my grandmother who would have been both fascinated and quasi scandalized at the modern dating scene I hit "play sample". And was instantly charmed. Plus I like when authors narrate. And it was free. So I downloaded audio book with faint expectations but nothing to lose and listened all the way through. Thanks Kayli
