Alice Aigner is successful, independent and a confirmed serial dater – but
at her ten-year school reunion she has a sudden change of heart. Bored
rigid by her 'married, mortgaged and motherly' former classmates, Alice
decides to prove that a woman can have it all: a man, marriage, career, kids
and a mind of her own.
She sets herself a goal: meet the perfect man and marry him before her
thirtieth birthday, just under two years away. Together with her best
friends Dannie, Liza and Peta, Alice draws up a ten-point plan. Then, with
a little help from her mum, her dad, her brothers, her colleagues and her
neighbour across the hall, she sets out to find Mr Right. Unfortunately for
Alice, it's not quite as easy as she imagines . . .
