Synopses & Reviews
From age ten, Harry has had just one ambition—to find the one girl for him. Forty-three women and twenty-odd years later, he is still looking. He doesnt ask for much: just a beautiful intellectual who doesnt mind his constant infidelity.
Harrys roommate Gerrard did once find True Love—but he didnt realize it until the day she left him. Only two women have met his exacting criteria, and hes not hopeful that hell find another. Even if he does, hes not sure he can trust her not to grow old eventually.
And then Harry and Gerrard meet Alice.
Alice is the perfect woman. Shes the only woman in the world Harry and Gerrard can agree on. Unfortunately, she seems to like both of them, and neither will stop at anything to win her for good.
