Review
“Dating can be daunting at any age, but Earls paints the battle of the sexes as a friendly duel with plenty of promising common ground.” - Publishers Weekly
Book Description
Med students Phil and Frank have big plans for their future. Part-time jobs at Ron Todd's World of Chickens seemed like the perfect way to earn a few bucks on the way.
But Phil's stuck out in front in the chicken suit trying to lure in reluctant customers and Frank's suffering from the fast-food grind in back frying burgers. Now that both of them are falling for Ron's wife and daughter, Frank's dream of being a surgeon and Phil's secret desire to be a film-maker are put on the back burner. Suddenly, Phil becomes a reluctant and altogether unexpected oracle on dental health, strategic planning, and marriage guidance.
