Sex, Life, & Hannah, Volume 1 is the story of twenty-eight-year-old Hannah and how
she deals with finding herself suddenly single right before the start of the new year instead of getting
engaged to "The One," the partner with whom she has a long and
tumultuous history. The Winter Season follows her as she comes to terms with her breakup, and the fact that it
won't be like all the other times when they broke up and got back
together. Hannah desperately does not want to stay single, nor does she
really want to put herself out there again to get hurt. With the help
of her friends, she decides to find herself a rebound, and she has numerous
candidates for the position. Is it the hunky Ben, a younger
guy who lives with Hannah's two gay landlords? Is it Clark, one of the
landlords who might be bi? Or what about the mysterious
older Mr. Smyth who she meets at an office party?
The layout of this book is unique.
A book written in magazine
format and in editions is very different! The only problem with
the format is the minor annoyance of having to go back to the top to
read the second half of the page since
it is written in columns. Volume 1, Winter Season starts off with
a bang and continues from there. Hannah is likable and many people
will be able to identify with her and what she goes through on her quest
to not end up alone. Her friends Jack and Ireland are very
entertaining, and their escapades provide great entertainment, humor, and
even slight shock value. Hannah is torn between her rebound guy and
another relationship.
Volume 1 has not only an author, but an editor,
assistant editor, and designer, just like a magazine. The author,
Dorota Skrzypek, was born in Poland, grew up in Canada, received her
higher education in the US, and now resides in California with
her husband, who also happens to be a writer and producer and is the
assistant editor of the book. Volume 1 was originally published in 2007.
