Editorial Review - "Hop on board for this delicious, freshly squeezed sequel to the acclaimed On Picking Fruit, where Curtis Jenkins once again braves the fickle dating scene in his continuing search for the perfect man. After writing the successful \"101 Ways To Collide Into Your Gay Soul Mate\", Curtis finds on his book tour that men - whether in Provincetown, Los Angeles, or somewhere in between - rarely wear their hearts on their biceps . . . unless it\'s a tattoo. Funny, unpredictable, and strangely moving, Fruit Cocktail is, like its feckless hero, ripe for the picking."

"Whether you're straight, bisexual, lesbian, gay or just confused.dating scenarios are universal," says Wooten in response to who will relate to Fruit Cocktail. "The novel is fast and breezy but also heartbreaking and full of hope."
