A Memoir of Daring, Delightful, Dismal, and Often Dumb Dating
“I’ve met some frogs in my life. I’ve encountered toads and even snakes. But in my wildest nightmares, I never could have imagined a more frustrating or painful dating history than that recounted by Arlene Miller in her new book, “When Life Hands You Frogs.” This slender volume contains the achingly stab-in-the-heart memoir of a woman searching for love in a world filled with selfish, unkind men who didn’t appreciate her beauty, wit, talent, professional accomplishments or potential for connubial bliss. What stands out, though, is the author’s sense of self-effacing humor that makes this a breezy and even amusing read. Kudos to Miller for her bravery to strip herself bare and tell the truth about how an intelligent woman can sabotage herself repeatedly with self-doubt and insecurities too often exploited by the frogs that might have been princes – for someone else. — Sheri Graves, Author
“Unlucky in love.” Is there such a thing? In When Life Hands You Frogs, Arlene Miller tells you her own dating story—from the very beginning. This memoir starts with childhood, because maybe that is where the whole dating thing begins. Maybe if your parents provided a good role model of love, you do better yourself. Maybe it has to do with self-esteem. Maybe some of us are just too fussy, or not fussy enough. Or too tough to get along with. Or too tolerant of others’ behavior. Schoolgirl crushes, high school insecurities, college experimentation, work relationships, great loves, rebounds, reuniting, and of course, online dating. It is all here. This book is funny, it is sad, and it is relatable. Most importantly, it is honest. There is something for everyone who has ever dated anyone in this memoir of relationships—the good, the bad, and the memorable.
