Check out the How to Be Single by Liz Tuccillo!

How to Be Single centers around the life of Julie, a 38 year old publicist who has never been married and only been in a few long term relationships.  She has 4 single friends: Ruby is a depressed cat lover; she falls in love and gets her hopes up too quickly, just to have them crash down on her.  Georgia is a divorcee who is newly single and ready to mingle; she has no idea what the dating world has in store for her.  Serena hasn’t had sex in 4 years…until she shaves her head and takes a vow of celibacy to become a swami in training and falls for her swami mentor!  Alice is tired of being single and waiting to find the perfect man and she is serious about finding a husband so she quits her job to intensify her efforts by dating “full time.”

Julie sets off on an adventure around the world to meet single women in different countries to see if there is a better way to do it—to be single. While she learns that while the obstacles single ladies encounter may be different, no matter where you live dating is not easy, but being single can be wonderful, adventurous and enlightening!  At the end of her journey she succumbs to the reality (although it makes her slightly nauseous) that maybe all you need to do is love yourself, and the rest really isn’t a big deal!

If you like Sex in the City you will probably enjoy this book.  Liz Tuccillo worked as a writer and story editor on the HBO series. She is also co-wrote the book he’s just not that into you:  The no-excuses truth to understanding guys with Greg Behrendt (which you should read only if you are prepared to except the fact that he’s just not that into you!)  So, go see the new movie, then come and check out these great books or episodes of the TV show on DVD.
