About the Book
The inspiration for the hit film! From the coauthor of He’s Just Not That Into You and a former story editor for Sex and the City, How to Be Single is about one wom-an’s attempts to navigate a world filled with ever-evolving definitions of love. Julie Jenson is a single thirty-seven-year-old book publicist in New York. When her friend Georgia’s husband leaves her for a samba teach-er, she forces Julie to organize a single girls’ night out to remind her why it’s so much fun not to be tied down. But the night ends up having the opposite effect on Julie. Fed up with the dysfunction and disap-pointments of singledom, Julie quits her job and sets off to find out how women around the world are dealing with this dreaded phenome-non. From Paris to Brazil to Sydney, Bali, Beijing, Mumbai, and Reyja-vik, Julie falls in love, gets her heart broken, sees the world, and learns more than she ever dreamed possible. All the while her friends at home are grappling with their own issues—bad blind dates, loveless engage-ments, custody battles, single motherhood, and the death of a loved one. Written in Liz Tuccillo’s pitch-perfect, hilarious, and relatable voice, How to Be Single is “a summer read that, for once, accurately depicts the hopes, fears, and bad dates of a single woman looking for love” (Parade).
