But her newly awakened sexual desire and lust for a new life refuse to be contained. Leaning on her best friend Lulu to show her the ropes, Rachel dips a toe in the online dating world, leading to park dates with younger men, flirtations with beautiful women, and actual, in-person sex. None of them, individually, are perfect . . . hence her rotation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut what if one person could perfectly cater to all her emotional needs? \u003cbr\u003eDriven by this possibility, Rachel creates Frankie, the AI chatbot she programs with all the good parts of dating in middle age . . . and some of the bad. But as Rachel plays with her fantasy to her heart's content, she begins to realize she can't reprogram her ex-husband, her children, her friends, or the roster of paramours that's grown unwieldy. Perhaps real life has more in store for Rachel than she could ever program for herself.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAmy Shearn\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eis the award-winning author of the critically-acclaimed novels \u003ci\u003eDear Edna Sloane, Unseen City, The Mermaid of Brooklyn, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHow Far Is the Ocean from Here\u003c\/i\u003e.
