Gill Finn, fifty something and twice divorced, has just returned to the town where she grew up after enjoying a life on the other side of the world. But unfortunately for her, her home town has changed; old friends have gone, new buildings have been erected and her favourite haunts refurbished. Alone and in an alien place that should feel familiar, Gill wants nothing more than to meet new people, find a new love, and settle down to spend the rest of her life exactly how she imagined.
But not feeling confident enough to walk into pubs, clubs or restaurants by herself, Gill instead decides to take to the internet to seek out companionship. Primed mainly with the knowledge of her past interest in fishing that brought her joy and happiness for many years, Gill combines her hobby with her online profile in an attempt to catch herself a man on the net.
In a hilariously heartfelt new novel, the trials, tribulations and awkward moments that come with online dating are brilliantly captured over Gill's incredibly personal romantic exploration. Full of anecdotal stories taken from her repeated (and sometimes successful) attempts at online dating throughout the years, Fishing The Net promises to be a hopelessly romantic yet embarrassingly honest account of what it's like to find love in the 21st century.
Recounting both the tales of her and her like-minded friends' attempts to find love, Gill's encounters with everything from married men, handsome rogues and conning scammers are all brought to life within the pages of Fishing the Net.
