After 25 years of marriage, a newly-divorced woman re-enters the dating world, navigating 10 hilarious first dates that remind her how much the game—and the players—have changed.
After 25 years of marriage, Maggie Callahan finds herself newly single and thrown into the chaotic world of modern dating. Armed with nothing but a martini and a sense of humor, she endures 10 wildly different first dates, from a narcissist obsessed with selfies to a spiritual guru who won’t stop trying to balance her chakras. As Maggie faces the absurd realities of dating apps, mismatched personalities, and midlife crises, she begins to realize that love is more complicated—and hilarious—than she ever imagined. 10 First Dates is a comedic exploration of relationships, self-discovery, and the unexpected joys of being single.
