Synopsis

EDITORIAL REVIEW:

In this freshly squeezed sequel to the critically acclaimed On Picking Fruit, Curtis Jenkins ironically pens the bestselling self-help book, 101 Ways to Collide into Your Gay Soul Mate, while still finding himself single and in the deep end of the dating pool.

As Curtis embarks on an adventurous book tour, his party girl mother, Mrs. J., and exasperating best friend, Quinn, help him brave the fickle dating scene while adjusting to his new found fame.

But whether he finds true love or not, Curtis does find himself and that's the best discovery anyone can make. Funny, unpredictable, warm and surprisingly emotional, Fruit Cocktail is, like its feckless hero, ripe for the picking.

Review

"If Armistead Maupin and David Sedaris had a love child, it would be Arthur Wooten." - Greg Archer, The Huffington Post

"A deliciously inventive novel that will leave you hungry for more." - Belo Miguel Cipriani, author of Blind: A Memoir

"Writing in a way that is alternately lovely and incisive, Wooten takes a look at the perilous state of same-sex dating in the new millennium in a way that invites both guffaws and smiling nods of recognition." Ben Patrick Johnson, author of If The Rains Don't Cleanse
