It's the most annoying question and they just can't help
asking you. You'll be asked it at family gatherings,
weddings, and on first dates. And you'll ask yourself far
too often. It's the question that has no good answer. It's
the question that when people stop asking it, makes you feel
even worse: Why are you single?
On a brisk October
morning in New York, Julie Jenson, a single
thirty-eight-yearold book publicist, is on her way to work
when she gets a hysterical phone call from her friend
Georgia. Reeling from her husband's announcement that he is
leaving her for a samba teacher, Georgia convinces a
reluctant Julie to organize a fun girls' night out with all
their single friends to remind her why it is so much fun not
to be tied down.
But the night, which starts with
steaks and martinis and ends with a trip to the hospital,
becomes a wake-up call for Julie. Because none of her
friends seems to be having much fun right now: Alice, a
former legal aid attorney, has recently quit her job to
start dating for a living; Serena is so busy becoming a
fully realized person that she can't find time to look for a
mate; and Ruby, a curvy and compassionate woman, has been
mourning the death of her cat for months.
So, fed up
with the dysfunction and disappointments of being single in
Manhattan, Julie quits her job and sets off to find out how
women around the world are dealing with this dreaded
phenomenon. From Paris to Rio to Sydney, Bali, Beijing,
Mumbai, and Reykjavik, Julie falls in love, gets her heart
broken, sees the world, and learns more than she ever
dreamed possible. Back in New York, her friends are
grappling with their own issues—bad blind dates, loveless
engagements, custody battles, and single motherhood. Through
their journeys, all these women fight to redefine their
vision of love, happiness, and a fulfilled life.
Written in Liz Tuccillo's pitch-perfect, hilarious, and
relatable voice, How to Be Single is the ultimate
novel for the adventurer in us all.
