Nicole from The Dumpster: One Woman’s Search for Love

The Dumpster started as a dream. When I woke in the morning, I couldn’t stop thinking about the plot and the characters. The funny circumstances grew in my mind and within a few hours, I was at my computer writing my first draft of The Dumpster. My characters created themselves, but one of my closest friends added some ammunition to help form the characters and their experiences—Some of Nicole’s most embarrassing situations were my own.

Nicole from The Dumpster: One Woman’s search for Love is an average, young American woman looking for love in all the wrong places. She has body image issues, is easily manipulated by men and likes to party with her friends; luck seems to be against her when it comes to love. As Nicole watches her friends settling down and growing up she feels greater pressure to find “the one” so she too can settle down; she doesn’t want to be left behind.

Most of Nicole’s thoughts and behaviors are pretty normal when it comes to the game of love, but many of her experiences aren’t pleasant. In this frenzy to find love, she makes ridiculous mistakes; from drinking too much and telling her life story on a first date to jumping into bed and believing she has a new meaningful relationship with someone she had just met. Nicole seems to have a gift in creating humiliating personal experiences.

What makes Nicole so likeable, is that she loves to laugh and doesn’t take her embarrassing mistakes too personal. She is good at picking herself up and brushing herself off, and when she recognizes that she needs to change, she gets creative in cleaning out the clutter in her life. Nicole makes important changes, gets herself together and stops feeling desperate for love—and only then does she allow true love to find her.

  1. Thank you so much for hosting Becky today, NOR! My first book - same thing. Woke up in the middle of the night and had to write everything down. Went back to bed, woke up and thought to myself, was that a dream? Got up and sure enough there it was in a doc - the beginning of Romancing the Soul. Love it when that happens!

    I like that! I've done plenty of embarrassing things and I used to get upset; not anymore, I just laugh at myself and keep going.

    I look forward in reading this.

  7. What a wonderful book! I had to laugh at Nicole and her friends because I could see myself and my friends doing the same things and having the same conversations about men and love. My daughter wants to read "The Dumpster" but I think I'll wait a few more years when she is ready to date and show her that we all do crazy things for love. Becky Due is a talented and inspirational writer.
