Download Fake Missed Connections: Divorce, Online Dating, and Other Failures AudioBook Free
Your wife is having an affair with my husband. It has triggered some trouble in my relationship, and I thought you have to know. One phone call in Dec 2005 starts the compelling, unpredictable story of Fake Missed Associations. A kid of divorce with an already fragile sense of trust, Lauer unravels at the betrayal, starts divorce proceedings, and moves back again to Brooklyn, where he spends too much time by itself, fixated on the idea a murderer from 1898 might be haunting his apartment. Eventually, as he starts off to peruse online dating profiles, he becomes enthusiastic about "missed links" specifically because they provide what online dating doesn't: a tale. He starts writing phony overlooked connections to create on Craigslist, and though he seems a stab of guilt when he articles them, he's hopelessly intrigued by the reactions he gets. Real documents illuminate Brett's dating escapades, from love (and hate) letters and instant message discussions to Brett's online dating profile and wedding announcement. Fake Missed Associations can be an unconventional yet deeply moving look at the modern search for love, the ways that we neglect to converse, and the search for a genuine instant of connection.
