Back with more, "Exact Fare Only 2" is the follow-up collection
of the weird, the wild and the wonderful of commuter literature.
Whether by land, sea or air, public transit around the world says
more about the human condition than many want to admit. These
real-life tales, reflections, poems, and rants are required reading
for commuters everywhere. Join Teresa McWhirter as she gets
propositioned on a cross-country Greyhound, Matthew Firth
accidentally witnessing a midnight exchange of essential services,
Scott Gunning encountering compassion on a third-class bus in
southern India, Catherine McNeil who misses her ride and discovers
the cost of a stranger's kindness, and follow ten years of Patricia
Rutale's life as a TTC rider negotiating urban legends, prejudice,
come-ons and bright-eyed awe.
Chelsea Black, one of London's top dating bloggers, is back with
more from the world of 21st-century dating. Yes, believe it or not,
there's so much more after her debut book Cupid's Cockups. Hitting
the dating scene with the same gusto and passion she has for sweets
saw her through many misadventures and, she even came out with a
serious relationship that nearly saw her move to what was once the
land of the brave and the free. (The USA, not a Braveheart's
Scotland reference). But this time, she needs a strategy to find
the man who will love the names she's pre-approved for their
babies, understands her love of international concerts and can
communicate in full text sentences. Thus begins Chelsea's
#40DayDating Challenge to find her prince. Join her as she
criss-crosses London for dinners with catfish, ghosts, dudes who
claim to eat before the date so that they don't have to pay the
bill, yet still eat her chips, and grown men who just can't tell
the time. The question is, will Chelsea find her modern-day prince
amongst all the frogs with their fuckeries, or will she have to
retreat, re-strategise and hope for third time lucky?
