The author is 41 years old, never-been-married, and has a 2 year old child. She is back on the dating scene and is troubled by the fact that she hasn't met The One yet. Will she ever? Then she starts to question the validity of The One. This leads her onto a journey of self-discovery.

This is usually the kind of story that I like. However, I found the author to be so self-sabotaging that it infuriated me. She spends part of the book blaming feminism and the "I can have it all" syndrome for her pickiness and unwillingness to settle. Yes, I agree that the idea that women can have a high-powered career and a family is turning out to be a difficult, if not impossible proposition due to limited years of fertility (among many, many other things). However, she never put forth the idea that she COULDN'T get married earlier due to her career, just that she was literally never satisfied with the men she had. She was always looking for someone better. Nothing inherently in the idea of feminism is responsible for her vanity, selfishness, or her shallow and controlling nature. She has turned out to be her own worst enemy. It's hard to feel a lot of sympathy for such a character.
