What's Your Number?: A Novel

“Bosnak writes with a charming and original voice.”
—Chicago Sun-Times

A smart and bubbly romp, soon to be a major Hollywood motion picture starring Anna Faris, Chris Evans, Zachary Quinto, and Andy Samberg, What’s Your Number? by Karyn Bosnak asks—and answers—the provocative question, how many men are too many? When Delilah Darling exceeds her magic number of twenty ex-lovers without finding “Mr. Right,” she sets out on a hilarious road trip to discover what went wrong. Originally published as 20 Times a Lady, Bosnak’s What’s Your Number? has got the number of chick lit romantic comedy fans who are looking for a sassy read with true wit as well as brains.

How many men does it take to find true love?

When Delilah Darling reads a survey revealing that most people have 10.5 sexual partners in their lifetime, she begins to feel like a tramp. She’s slept with nineteen men so far—–almost twice the national average. During a self-help moment, she vows to cap her “number” at twenty, swearing she’ll save her last spot for the right guy. But after losing her job and having a wild night on the town, she falls into bed with Mr. Wrong. Unwilling to up her number, but also unable to imagine a life of celibacy, Delilah does the only thing a girl in her situation can do: she tracks down every man she’s ever slept with in a last-ditch effort to make it work with one of them.

A hilarious romp through Delilah’s past loves, What’s Your Number? shines a spotlight on every woman’s dirty little secret and proves that, when it comes to matters of the heart, sometimes numbers tell only a fraction of the story.

“...a snappy beach read...Bosnak here proves her ability to create a fictional character every bit endearing as she was able to make herself [in Save Karyn].” - BookPage

“It’s as irresistable as a pint of Ben and Jerry’s and goes down as easily.... Fans of chick lit will recognize the overbearing mother, the quirky pet, the misguided ideas about love and relationships, and the laugh-out-loud encounters with old flames that end in hilarious flameouts. The lively pace and outlandish story will keep readers hooked...” - Booklist

“Bosnak writes with a keen eye for comedy. The result is absolutely hilarious” - School Library Journal (starred review)

“Bosnak writes with a charming and original voice and deploys very few of the cliches that have become standard fare in the genre.... She’s taken what might have been a five-minute conversation in Monk’s Coffee Shop and made it into a well-executed first novel.” - Chicago Sun-Times
