51 dates. 50 weeks. That was the social experiment Kristen
McGuiness--single, living in LA, and entering her thirties newly
sober--embarked upon. McGuiness thought facing her struggle with
alcoholism would be the hardest part, with love coming easily
afterwards. It didn't. Rethinking her previous dating strategy, she
embarks on the ultimate social experiment: 51 dates over the course
of 50 weeks, and a chance to claim the life she thought was
supposed to be hers.
Dodging CHAs (Cheesy Hollywood Actors) and men with self-diagnosed
RAD (Relationship Anxiety Disorder), McGuiness is determined to
find the "perfect guy" by being the "perfect girl." But McGuiness,
like all of us, has her own issues to contend with: a longing for
the wrong kind of men, a penchant for swearing, and a difficult
relationship with her father in maximum-security prison. But as the
year progresses, McGuiness begins to develop a new hope for her
future--the dates transform into truth-seeking missions, and point
her toward a life with satisfying work, a supportive family and,
with the help of a local shaman, a comforting spirituality. Told
with wry humor, pathos, and an engaging lack of self-pity, "51/50"
is a moving adventure.
