Book excerpt: Mia is 34 years old and still single. Her dating successes on Tinder & Co. are rather modest. While all her friends are getting married and starting families, she has one cinematic plot twist after another. She is stuck between doubts, fear, hope and love. Is it her? What is she doing wrong? Where is the happy ending? A novel full of whimsical, humorous, but also emotional stories that reflect the dating jungle in a digital world with the drive for perfection and all its hurdles. "Generation can't commit" par excellence. The novel also shows how important failure is and how it leads us piece by piece to ourselves - if we have enough courage to take this relentlessly honest path. The key to happiness: self-reflection, working on yourself, finding strength and growing. Because life is worth living - with and without a partner. The only thing that matters is who we really want to be and what we desire from the bottom of our hearts.
