How on earth can you 'fall into' online dating? Well, separated and sixty-four, I somehow managed to do just that, and what an experience that turned out to be! Bewildering, fascinating, at times a real laugh and a few narrow escapes thrown into the mix, I survived to tell the tale. Frogs, Frauds, Perverts or (Potential) Princes? The author's own story, this is an honest account of a sixty-something catapulting herself into the world of online dating, with Covid-19 muscling in and gatecrashing her party, thinly disguised as the Big Bad Wolf. Jacky's humdrum life in Spain takes on a different pace after she joins three online dating sites: will the men she meets be anything like their online personas? The whole dating-scene journey teaches a naïve new Tinderella to be wary and wise as most of the men she meets fall into the above categories - but not all The story opens in the present day, November 2020, and flips back to 'Once upon a Time/How it all Began', specifically October 2019, progresses through 2020 and the advent of Covid-19, and through the year until the search for the handsome PP, Potential Prince, comes to an end... a fairy tale ending? You'll have to wait and see!
