What will it take to follow your dream?
On the outside, Rebekah Campbell has an enviable life. She is founder of hot Sydney startup Posse.com, writes a popular blog and gives inspirational talks at conferences for female entrepreneurs.
But when she turns off the light each night, she is alone and terrified of the future. She knows that what's important to her isn't money or startup glory or social media followers. She wants love. She wants a family.
And she is stuck. She hasn't been on a date in ten years. She's too embarrassed to list herself on the internet and can't bear the risk of getting rejected.
She decides to act. She'll take the tactics she's learnt building companies and apply them to finding a man. Her epic journey will take her on dates with 138 different men in Sydney, New York and San Francisco, while at the same time confronting the immense challenges of launching a business.
She'll face exhaustion, humiliation and heartbreak; she'll meet some strange and dangerous characters. And she will strip herself of the ego and expectations that have been holding her back. She will not stop.
138 Dates proves that the end is always worth the effort.

Industry Reviews
'I could not put this book down. I laughed, I cried, and I was aghast at Rebekah's experiences. You will enjoy the ride, and whether you have experienced the same, you will learn what determination, persistence and a plan can do in every area of your life.' Naomi Simson, Shark Tank, founder Red Balloon, author of Ready to Soar 'Rebekah paints a vulnerable and entertaining picture of loss, dating, and the struggles of being a woman building a business in a male dominated world. She cuts to the core of juggling single life, a loud biological clock, and overcoming her belief that she needs to change in order to find happiness. I laughed, learned a lot, and cried my eyes out!' Jaquie Brown, television personality and screenwriter 'This is one of the most vivid and honest accounts of love I've read. This book will change lives - I only wish I'd read it when I was 35.
