About this ebook
Flashback – you’re 16 again – no pimples, curfews, or inexperience.
You've seen ads for online dating on television, in newspapers, and (naturally) on computer popups. The models are cute, handsome, young, or at least looking good for their age. But what REALLY happens when a computer semi-illiterate 60ish widow is prodded into this very 21st century form of dating---when the last time she dated was when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first men to walk on the moon? Getting back into dating makes her feel young. Actual dating makes her realize she is NOT sixteen anymore. What started out as entries on her Facebook page have expanded into detailed accounts of dating foibles and feats.
Anyone who has embraced the concept of online dating, no matter at what age, will find her adventures laugh-out-loud funny and charming.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5We're Not Sixteen Anymore by Becky Andersen is a book I requested from NetGalley and the review is voluntary. This is a creative and witty story of a 60year old woman going back into the dating scene. Some of the things she talks about anyone in that age range could relate to. Clever and sprinkled with humor.
