Laura the Explorer — Sarah Begg

At twenty-seven, Laura Baker finds herself single for the first time in her adult life, her now-gay ex-husband the only man she's ever slept with. Moving into an apartment on Sydney's Northern Beaches, Laura's two new eclectic roommates convince her that she needs to get herself out there and start dating (and sleeping with) as many men as possible. But as Laura's fun new lifestyle kicks off, her work ethic begins to slip. Her mum won't stop pestering her about her biological clock and trying to set her up with Eric from the pub. And to make things even worse, the volleyball-playing guy with the sky-blue eyes and rippling muscles that Laura has become infatuated with is hiding a secret that could shatter her world. Amidst all the change in her life, Laura is forced to confront one crucial question: does she even know who she is anymore or how to be happy? A fast-paced, fly-on-the-wall account of one woman's hilarious adventures in the contemporary Sydney dating scene.
