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 Reykjavk, 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.

情人节看的,说实在的看到中间想过扔掉的。结尾还是满有趣的。又一部satc。期待电影。
评分在读完之际告别了单身,但真的非常喜欢这种很美式爱情观但又很relatable的幽默、肆意、深刻、坦率。
评分Finished it and I have to say this book is so Carrie Bradshaw, so predictable and so 1998. However it is still heartening knowing that the women turned things around by the end.

评分其实小说也就是好莱坞那种剧情,不过它所提出的一些问题和观点还是很值得我们借鉴,或者说思考的。毕竟how to single真的已经成了一个越来越值得关注的Global issue,重要性不低于全球气候
