Your Front-Row Seat to My Romantic (and Sometimes Ridiculous) Escapades in NYC

Hi there! I’m Ivy Hunt, a USA Today bestselling romance author, in my 40s and freshly divorced, determined to navigate the wild, wonderful, and occasionally WTF world of dating in New York City. Think of this as an all-access to my dating disaster tour—equal parts comedy, catastrophe, and life lessons I swear I’ll actually learn this time.

Here’s what you’re getting:

• Absurd Adventures: Stories plucked straight from life—real, borrowed, heavily embellished, or maybe just wishful thinking. (Guessing what’s true is half the fun.)

• Dating Drama: The good, the bad, and the “did he really just say that?”

• A Sprinkle of Spice: Yep, things might get steamy. Reader discretion—and maybe a glass of wine—is advised.

• Retail Therapy: Because shopping lists. Many, many, shopping lists.

Why subscribe?

• You’ll laugh. A lot.

• You’ll cry. (Happy tears, mostly, promise!)

• You’ll probably feel a whole lot better about your own dating life.

• And hey, you’ll always have a front-row seat to my next big misadventure.

Come for the chaos. Stay for the comedy.
