It's called Mannerfrei: Roman in German (Man Free: A Novel) Which I kind of love. Claudia Geng translated it. I hope she enjoyed it... I wonder what 'cockmonkey' is in German?
By the way, this is how Google translates the German back blurb. It works for me:
Problems with men? The solution is men free!
Men are dangerous and have various side effects. After the sixth failed relationship Sass decides to start a romantic Lent: no men, no divisions, no disappointments. And what happened? Their lives - usually filled with joy-traumatic with dates, clothes, and the relationship of vodka after that - is suddenly released! Abstinence is cool, and suddenly you're flying to all, especially men, especially Jake: witty, intelligent and ever ... If Sass break the rules? Or is the carefree life too good to turn it to gamble?
