ABOUT THE BOOK

A humorous and relatable book featuring the most curious creatures lurking in the depths of the dating pool. 

No one ever said the dating field was easy; it's rife with bad one-liners and sleezebags. From Hector, aka The Ex Who Reeled You Back In, to Theo, aka The Improv Star, these fishy suitors are sure to have you laughing out loud and commiserating with your fellow dating pals. If you can't inoculate yourself from the wacky world of dating, then you may as well have a good laugh.

Full of wit and complete with delightful marine illustrations, Deep-sea Creeps is the perfect gift for anyone who has dated a man, ever.
