    About this audiobook

    At twenty-three, Kayli Stollak, like most starry-eyed twentysomethings, assumed that she and her boyfriend, Charlie, would be together forever. Besides a rockin’ sex life, they shared a passion for motorcycle adventures, hedonistic European music festivals, and wearing matching glittery spandex to the disco. What more could a gal ask for? She envisioned their love burning well into their sixties.

    And then he dumped her.

    Heartbroken, Kayli turned to her seventy-five-year-old granny for support. And this ain’t no ordinary granny. Granny Gail is a ball-busting, sh*t-talking, gossipy yenta with an anecdote or piece of unsolicited advice for every situation. Granny didn’t sugarcoat the truth or let Kayli dwell on her failed relationship. No, Granny told her to cut the crap and snap out of it. Why didn’t Kayli give “one of those dating websites” a shot? With her ego on the line, Kayli threw the dare right back at her—if it was so wonderful, why didn’t single Granny join her in the world of cyber romance?

    Granny Is My Wingman chronicles Kayli’s and Granny’s misadventures in online dating. What ensues is a hilarious tour through the obstacles of modern love: drunken hookups, late-night Facebook stalking, breathy phone calls with geriatric suitors, and the occasional rude dude. While Kayli powers through a marathon of OkCupid dates—the corporate drone married to his BlackBerry, the nail-biting thirty-three-year-old who still lives at home with his mom, the serial online dater—we learn about Granny’s romantic past and the bittersweet affair she carried on, even while married, for more than thirty years. The two women cheer each other on and become even closer as they share their dating exploits, learning that the hunt for happiness is the same whether you’re twenty-five or seventy-five.

    Fresh, funny, and honest, Granny Is My Wingman is a book for anyone who has ever found love, lost it, and been crazy enough to do it all over again.

      My first thought when I read the description of Granny Is My Wingman by Kayli Stollak was of my own grandmother She was certainly not the cookie baking, moralizing type that many have experienced in their own lives. She was strikingly beautiful, could outwork any man alive on her farm, then dress up for a night out and turn every head in the place. She too, was married, but while I have no confirmation of my suspicions, I have always believed that she had a fling or two over the years. Her nickname was Tiger Lil'.So, when I saw this book, even though it is outside my typical reading choices, I knew that I had to to read it. Kayli is blessed to have her no nonsense, no holds barred granny at her side. The wild romps and adventures, or perhaps misadventures they experienced while deciding to embark in online dating and its results and consequences had many laugh out loud moments. Despite all the laughs, the bond they forged while sharing this experience doubtless enhances both of their lives and brought them closer than most family members from such different generations.It isn't all fun and games, there are some more serious and touching moments, but for the most part, this is a fun ride along with the experiences of a young girl recovering from losing her first love and her grandmother who decides to teach her the ropes of life, while she learns the ins and outs ( and ups and downs ) of internet dating. This book has drawn a lot of attention from the media, and in my opinion, it was well deserved. A three star rating means I'm glad I read this book, and hope that you will give it a look, too.
