It's not just about sex...
Suzanne Schlosberg calls it "the Streak": 1001 days without sex (just 36 days shorter than the Kennedy administration). She's on the mother of all dry spells...a Sahara devoid of intimacy, one-night stands, and committed relationships. The question is, Why? Is she too picky, too bitchy, or too shy? Does she have chlamydia? Really bad foot fungus? No. She's a smart, good-looking freelance writer who, at thirty-four, has inexplicably crossed that dreaded line from single to...still single.
Now, in hilarious detail, Suzanne chronicles the true story of the Streak and her outrageous attempts to end it. She embarks on a nationwide search for the most date-friendly town. She analyzes her Internet dates like an FBI profiler. And when all else fails, she goes global, taking her hunt from the South Pacific to the Arctic tundra. Ultimately she is forced to ask herself: Do I really need a man to find happiness?
For every woman who has endured the indignity of the "singles table" at her friends' weddings, The Curse of the Singles Table is a real treat.
Review
"[O]ften side-splitting, occasionally poignant....Singles in their 30s will get the most out of this book, but anyone can appreciate Schlosberg's wacky humor." Publishers Weekly
Review
"Warning: Do not read this book in a quiet waiting room! I did, and by chapter two, I embarrassed myself trying to mask my giggles with conspicuous snort-coughs, ultimately succumbing to all-out hysteria. Suzanne Schlosberg's sparkling debut deserves an A+ and a hearty LOL. Hands-down the funniest chick lit I've ever read!" Wendy Markham, author of Once Upon a Blind Date and Slightly Single

The Curse of the Singles Table is a clear, honest, funny account of one woman's unintentional celibacy streak that will make you laugh out loud whether you're having sex or not." Cindy Chupak, author of The Between Boyfriends Book and writer/executive producer of Sex and the City

Review
"As someone who went dogsledding and camping in Minnesota, in December after a massive breakup, boy can I relate....Schlosberg weathers her discontent and yes, defrosts her cold spell with wit and warmth."

Synopsis
Suzanne Schlosberg's friends dubbed her the Cal Ripken of celibacy. Given the common belief among single women that all the good men are either married or gay, Suzanne's predicament is hardly extraordinary, but what she does to end the streak makes for a hilarious tale. Suzanne hits bottom when her younger sister gets engaged, leaving her less than a year to find a date for the wedding. She shifts into overdrive, experimenting with Internet dating, speed dating, and other bizarre 21st century match-making rituals. But after enduring every indignity of singlehood, she ultimately learns to ask herself: Does she really need a man to find happiness?
