From Booklist
Fatima Mayo realizes that it's time to start dating again, several years after the untimely death of her husband. She is still in her twenties, and this lovely, urban black woman has a lot of living left to do. Fatima enlists her best girlfriend's help, but after a failed online date and a professional fix up, she decides no one will ever come close to what she had with her husband. So, in a bold move, Fatima decides to not only list the requirements she has for the perfect man but also write a script detailing how he should behave in every conceivable situation. Several actors audition for the part, and she makes her selection. Has she come up with a realistic solution to the dismal dating scene? What is she to do with the feelings she develops for her "boyfriend"? Are they real if he is not? Dow presents an interesting conundrum wrapped in a hip contemporary story. Maria Hatton
