What if you were approaching the end of your thirties and all of the life milestones you took for granted in your youth suddenly seemed out of reach? On the eve of her thirty-ninth birthday, Maggie Piper doesn't look, act, or feel much different than she did at twenty-nine, but with her fortieth birthday speeding toward her like a freight train, she wonders if she should. The fear of a slowing metabolism, wrinkling of her skin, and the ticking of her biological clock leaves Maggie torn between a desire to settle down like most of her similarly aged peers and concern that all is not perfect in her existing relationship. When a spontaneous request for a temporary "break" from her live-in boyfriend results in a "break-up," Maggie finds herself single once again and only twelve months from the big 4.0. In the profound yet bumpy year that follows, Maggie will learn, sometimes painfully, that life doesn't always happen on a schedule, there are no deadlines in love, and age really is just a number. Meredith Schorr, best-selling author of light women's fiction, digs deep in her newest novel and raises the age old issue of the 'proverbial clock' that haunts many women, in a way that is refreshing and sassy no matter your age or relationship status.

About the Author:

A born and bred New Yorker, Meredith Schorr discovered her passion for writing when she began to enjoy drafting work-related emails way more than she was probably supposed to. After trying her hand penning children’s stories and blogging her personal experiences, Meredith found her calling writing chick lit and contemporary women’s fiction. She secures much inspiration from her day job as a hard-working trademark paralegal and her still single (but looking) status. Meredith is also the co-founder of BookBuzz, a live author/reader event held annually. She is a loyal New York Yankees fan and an avid runner. How Do You Know? is her fourth novel.

Review:

"Maggie Piper navigates a version of Manhattan that's as fun and original as Woody Allen's or Sex and the City's. You won't forget this delightful cast of characters or Schorr's sharp, candid insights about the plight of the modern woman." - Diana Spechler, Author of Who by Fire and Skinny

"Meredith Schorr is an author to watch." - Tracy Kaler, Founder and Editor of Tracy's New York Life

"Chick lit with depth. Fun story with a lovable main character. I was really rooting for Maggie to get her head together and enjoyed taking the journey along with her. I love all of Meredith Schorr's books, and this one didn't disappoint. I liked that it tackled deeper issues of aging and how it affects society's outlook on women (read: differently than it affects society's outlook on men), as well as men's and women's outlooks on love. I recommend!" - Stacey Wiedower, USA Today Bestselling Author of 30 First Dates
