"Tuccillo, a former story editor of HBO's Sex and the City , shows that she can tell a story on the page as well as she can on the small screen. Her novel cleverly moves back and forth between the heroine's travels all over the world to her friend's dealing with the everyday minutiae back home in New York City."-- Romantic Times, "In her energetic fiction debut, [Tuccillo] follows the dating lives of five single New York women, one of whom, narrator Julie, is writing a book about how bachelorettes across the world manage. The subsequent stories of courtship, marriage and romantic expectations ?are revealing and compelling."--Publishers Weekly, "A fun read that reminds single girls everywhere that it's fabulous to be single."-- Plum Sykes, author ofBergdorf Blondes, "In her energetic fiction debut, [Tuccillo] follows the dating lives of five single New York women, one of whom, narrator Julie, is writing a book about how bachelorettes across the world manage.

Synopsis
The inspiration for the major motion picture 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 woman'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 teacher, 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 disappointments of singledom, Julie quits her job and sets off to find out how women around the world are dealing with this dreaded phenomenon. From Paris to Brazil to Sydney, Bali, Beijing, Mumbai, and Reyjavik, 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 engagements, 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 )., The inspiration for the major motion picture!
