Publisher Description
Eva Perino is single and proud of it. Owner of The Grounds, a coffee shop nestled in the heart of a college town, thirtysomething Eva cherishes her comfortable life filled with quirky friends, a fun job, and no significant other. In fact, she’s so content to be on her own that she started a blog about it: Why I Love Singlehood. Yet when she hears the news of her ex-boyfriend’s engagement, her confidence in her single status takes a surprisingly hard hit.
So begins Eva’s clumsy (and occasionally uproarious) search for love as she secretly joins an online dating site, tries her hand at speed-dating, and breaks her own rule by getting involved with one of The Grounds’ regulars. Soon Eva is forced to figure out exactly who—or what—is the true love of her life. Sparkling with warmth and wit, Why I Love Singlehood is a charming and insightful must-read for anyone—single or otherwise—who has ever been stymied by love.

"Excellent for a "beach read". Eva, (pronounced Ay-vah) thinks that she is perfectly happy being single. So much so that she begins a blog about why singlehood is fabulous. Then, out of nowhere, her ex, who she is now "friends" with, announces his engagement and Eva begins to question several things about herself, life, and love. Hysterical, laugh out loud moments. Recommend for light reading to good freinds."

Why I Love Singlehood Listener Reviews
-
" I finished this book some time ago (don't remember when but it was still cold at night) but just realized I had neglected to write a review. I recall having some really good things to say about it, but they escape me now. I mostly remember completely relating to all about singlehood [the good, the bad, and the funny]. It's not high literature and the end is about what you expect, but it's cute, clever, and fun. "

" As a former college instructor-turned-coffee shop owner myself, I was particularly interested in Eva and her experiences. I enjoyed the story and appreciated the inspirational message directed at single people. On a side note, Eva certainly has no problem finding intelligent, attractive men who are interested in her (she has a "club" of admirers); Eva must be a spectacular woman! "
— Andrea, 2/8/2014 -
" It was a quick cheap trashy novel to fill in the time... not as bad as I thought it might be, but not really up to my usual standards. "
— Samone, 2/7/2014 -
" the perfect read on my vacation! "
— Matty, 2/3/2014 -
" "Accidental" Kindle purchase made by Maddie and Payton. Why not try it? "
— Mason, 2/2/2014 -
" I enjoyed the characters and their interaction. Eva owns a coffee shop and loves to bake. What can be better? She has great friends that frequent the coffee shop. She seems to love being single but things change when she decides to start dating and report it on her blog. "
— Crystal, 1/18/2014 -
" Possible choice for Reader's Choice (Staff pick) for next year. "

" Nice and light. I enjoyed it. "
— Jac, 1/2/2014 -
" Very cute, easy to ready chick-lit book. Nice break from some of the heavy stuff I read. No deep character development, no deep story developement, just a 'light movie' type book. Something nice to take to the beach this summer! "

" Hmmm...good, funny, made me hungry for coffee and really good chocolate cookies... "
— Patty, 12/15/2013 -
" Started off with about a million characters thrown at us right away. Just went on and on about boring relationships that had nothing to do with the story. And the "website blogs" that tried to hard to be Sex in the City failed miserably. I couldn't finish it. "
— Max, 12/11/2013 -
" I enjoyed and could relate to many things she was saying, being single myself. I don't know that I would have normally picked this book up on my own, but I read it for book club and I enjoyed it. "
— Brittany, 12/6/2013 -
" What was I thinking - why is it so hard to write good chicklit? "
— Sherese, 11/15/2013 -
" I loved it. I love the cover, too. I love coffee. Eva is somewhat of a mess, but an entertaining one. "

" it's rather boring. "
— Veronika, 5/5/2013 -
" Definitely entertaining (and hit a little too close to home sometimes) "
— Christine, 2/23/2013 -
" 2.5 stars. It was okay. Don't need to read or think about it again. "
— Katri, 1/13/2013 -
" I really related to the main character in this book. "
— Tara, 1/4/2013 -
" I really enjoyed this book! It follows very easily, and I like being able to relate to the main character. Its cast of characters is great, and varied. It's a good, nice read, especially great as an escape from everyday life. "
— Erica, 12/19/2012 -
" I loved the book. Especially the Jan and Dean and the Spencer and Tracy references. "
