'Don't get me wrong. There was - there is - much love between my husband and me. We aren't miserable, we just aren't happy. And we aren't really together that much - it didn't used to seem to matter. But it's starting to matter. It's starting to matter very much indeed.'
Sidney Stein has come undone, but who's going to pick up the pieces?
With her marriage spiralling towards divorce, sexually confident and unapologetically sized 24, Sidney Stein finds herself drawn into an illicit affair with Geoffrey Fahl - not only married and twenty years her senior, but also her father's business partner.
Perilously close to falling in love with this man who is so very wrong for her and knowing there's no future in the relationship, Sidney decides it's time to turn her life around.
Newly separated from her husband, Sidney dives into the dating pool. And after numerous dates, a disastrous transitional guy and reconnecting with a high school crush, she can't help but wonder if it might not just be easier to let herself drown.
But just as she stops looking for the ideal man, someone else arrives . . . and he might just be everything she never knew she always wanted.
Experience the love, joy and heartbreak of Sidney Stein in Stacey Ballis's debut novel. Neither pat nor predictable, 'Inappropriate Men' is laugh-out-loud funny without compromising intelligence.
