But at 31, she's beginning to wonder if she's been passed over for good. Deciding to adopt a new attitude, Ashley suddenly becomes the romantic interest of three men within a matter of days. While her heart enjoys turning the tables on the dating game, the rest of her previously predictable world is being turned upside down. Is it more than Ashley can handle? Or is it exactly what she wants?

"Ashley Stockingdale, 31, has a respectable (read: boring) job in Silicon Valley as a patent attorney. Given that in Silicon Valley the single men outnumber the women 2 to 1, Ashley can't help but wonder why a cute, eligible, Christian girl sits home most weekends. So Ashley resolves to go for it! If only she knew what \"it\" she's going for. Maybe it's to decide between long-time crush Seth Greenwood, a typical Silicon Valley engineer, or Dr. Kevin Novak, a pediatric surgeon with a heart of gold. Ultimately, Ashley finds that what a girl wants and what a girl needs aren't always the same thing." . "What a girl wants"@en . "What a girl wants" . "General" . . . . . . . . .

"Ashley Stockingdale, 31, has a respectable (read: boring) job in Silicon Valley as a patent attorney. It's the kind of life that causes her mother to ask repeatedly, \"Now what exactly do you do there, dear?\" Given that in Silicon Valley the single men outnumber the women 2 to 1, Ashley can't help but wonder why a cute, eligible, Christian girl (\"with absolutely adorable shoes\") sits home most weekends. Even her church singles group fails to satisfy, endlessly watching The Matrix and \"splurging\", obnoxiously, on un-cool dinners at Applebee's and unhip franchise restaurants. So Ashley resolves to go for it! If only she knew what \"it\" she's going for. Perhaps that ever-illusive promotion that would give her the glamorous career girl image she's longed for? Or maybe the wardrobe to end all wardrobes, turning her glowing, possibly-pregnant newlywed friends green with envy? Or, best of all, winning the affections of the handsome doctor she's met through her work with the youth center! Ultimately, Ashley finds that what a girl wants and what a girl needs aren't always the same thing. Join Ashley for the first of two lighthearted books about a single-girl's bumbling but loveable quest for meaning." . . . . "California" . . "ChickLit Fiction." . . . .
