Dating The Other Daniel Cohen — K.K. Hendin

In Search Of One Imaginary Boyfriend  After one disastrous date too many, Abbi Horowitz would love nothing more than to swear off dating for the rest of the foreseeable future. As it is, she's too busy juggling a full-time job and law school to date anyone. Unfortunately, her mother has other plans.Desperate times call for desperate measures, and for Abbi, that means inventing a fake boyfriend that she can date for the next few months before conveniently breaking up with him when her life isn't so hectic. There's no way that a plan this perfect will fail. In Search Of One Imaginary Girlfriend  When Abbi tells her neighbor Daniel Cohen about her plans, he proposes an alternative.Use each other's very common Jewish names to create fake people to date for the next few months, and go on pretend dates to strengthen their tenuous cover story.  Dan's an accountant muscling his way through busy season and barely has time to breathe, let alone attempt to date anyone at all. Having a fake girlfriend will keep the phone calls from his mom to a minimum, and it's not like he doesn't already hang out with Abbi all the time. It's a flawless plan. Nothing will ruin it.  Not last-minute Pesach plans, not Jewish geography, and definitely not any unexpected feelings.
