So...! I finished the book, so here's to put some meaning to
otherwise-meaningless sharing.
Basically, this book is about how women - namely the narrator,
Julie, a 38 year-old single New Yorker, and her four friends -
handle being single women above the age of 35.
Julie decides to write a book about single women and thus
travels to various parts of the world for research (i.e. talking to
all sorts of single women); Ruby is soft-hearted and faces newfound
emptiness upon the death of her pet cat; Serena is the holistic one
who decides to be a swami but later finds that life as a swami is
entirely what she was NOT expecting; Georgia is a hot mama with two
kids, recently divorced after her husband decided to go off with a
much-younger salsa instructor; Alice is the omnipotent legal eagle
- independent, impressive, street-very-smart but single!
So, there you have it, five single women who are quite different
from one another in terms of their characters and life stories.
Read about them confront their singularity and win the battle by
crossing over to the other side or coming to certain terms with
it.
Whoever said celibacy is part of being a swami? Being single
doesn't mean you can't have give birth to a kid of your own! Will
Georgia date again, or will the unexpected happen??? Which of them
five is going to get married first??
An easy read for everyone, single or not. (think Shopaholic,
