Jeremy | 194 comments I've got another tough one.

I'm looking for the source of a quote where the narrator/main character starts talking about a specific bar/restaurant and says something like "their appletinis are so strong that they qualify as foreplay."

The problem I have is that I wasn't the person who actually read the book, so I don't know anything at all about the source.
My friend was reading her book at the beach and laughed out loud when she read that quote, then she read it aloud to share it with me.

Sound familiar to anybody?


Justanotherbiblophile | 1814 comments So, I'm making an assumption that this was a chick-lit book? Did you get to see the cover? Is she a GR member, perhaps check her books-read, or her social media for the time in question (maybe she mentioned reading it, or finishing it) - if you can't ask her directly?

Jeremy | 194 comments I know absolutely nothing about the book. Based on her reading preferences, it's unlikely that the book was chick-lit.
The person in question is my ex-girlfriend, and we're no longer in touch.
This took place about 8 years ago, so the book is at least that old.


Justanotherbiblophile | 1814 comments Hmm, so what were her reading preferences, especially vacation(?) reading? I know searchers here will only take it as a suggestion, and not limit themselves if you say one genre is more likely than others.

Daphne | 247 comments Looks like On Paradise Drive: How We Live Now (And Always Have) in the Future Tense by David Brooks has a line about "green-apple flirtinis, which are alcoholic beverages so strong they qualify as a form of foreplay." (found through Google Books)
