From the Author of 27 and No F**king Clue. What do you get when you mix a collection of interviews about sex, love, and relationships with a slightly douchey author?

Meet Ava—26-year-old Southern California love seeker who battles her inner self-consciousness and gives in to the many manipulations of the Chad’s out there on her hopeless search to find the love of her life. They are both Hopeless Romantics in this modern world of bar hopping, right-swiping, and casual sexual escapades. Can these two navigate the modern dating landscape to discover that healthy relationships and true love are attainable in 2020? For all of our sakes, let’s hope so.
