Overview

"With her sometimes funny, always intimate, uncensored memoir, Sarah Lavane puts a human face on the challenges of being ""unmatched"" in a ""matched"" Orthodox Jewish world. She takes us along on her journey. We learn how her background shaped her relationships and perceptions of God from a young age. She then delves into the ups and downs of dating, the tug-of-war she feels between men she may date and those who are off-limits, her heartfelt attempts (conventional and not) to change her fate and her poignant struggles with God through it all. Thoughtful and humorous, this page-turner draws the reader in. Unmatched aims to bring solace and comfort to the ""unmatched"" as well as foster sensitivity and awareness to the ""matched."" This memoir is a must-read for the currently ""unmatched,"" anyone who's ever wondered, ""Why isn't so-and-so married?"" and readers who enjoy memoirs that give insight into the human condition."
