Did you always know you were going to write the book from a man's point of view? Was that a decision you made prior to even starting the writing process?

Hi there! That's a great question. I did know that. When I wrote the book, it was after speaking with a bunch of friends who were getting a divorce. I wanted to present this character we've seen in literature before — the recently divorced, heartbroken man — and chip away a little at that cliche. But a cynical reason I did it was also because the men I knew on apps were having far more fun than the women, and that's the side I wanted to show about post-divorce dating first, particularly as it pertained to the entire project of the book. - Taffy
