How to be Single (Abridged): A Novel Audiobook

" I rarely stop reading a book before finishing, but I just couldn't keep going with this one. I gave it 100 pages and had NO interest in the characters. "

" From the chick who created Sex and the City! "

" Chick lit for chicks who like to travel. Interesting characters, very Sex and the City, but slightly more realistic and sad. "

" I rarely start a book and then not finish it, but I just can't get into this one. I'm a bit disappointed -- from the description I thought it was going to be a cute book about some single women and their struggles to find "Mr. Right" ... in a way that's what it's about, but in a way it's not, and it's not cute. I thought I would find myself chuckling out loud at some of their exploits, but I didn't. It almost reads more like a non-fiction book about 4 women, and one in particular who decides to travel the world to learn how women around the world deal with being single. Perhaps I can't get into it because I'm not single and I never really did the dating scene, and I've never lived in a large city ... I don't know, but I've got too many books on my TBR list to spend time reading one that isn't enjoyable. "

" this book is cute, I read it thinking it would cheer me up... don't make that mistake. while it is a fun book, it really explores different versions of relationships and takes itself to a place that isn't quite 'beach reading' "

" I would give this book three and a half stars if I could. it was certainly depressing at times, but I felt I could see a bit of myself in every character in this book, and found the sheer honesty of it to be remarkable. "

" A fun read. Tuccillo's television background can clearly be found in the episodic chapters and always active, expressive, and compact writing. "

" Surprisingly thoughtful for chick lit. The stories of what it is like to be a single woman in other parts of the world -- India, Italy, Australia -- were especially fun. "

" This wasn't amazing by any stretch, but enjoyable for this type of book. A mixture of being both hilarious at times and also depressing! It's fiction, but it reads like non-fiction... "

" Funny with many moments I could relate to as a recently single woman at 45. "

" Liked it much more than I expected - especially the ending. It's like "Eat,Pray, Love" meets "Bridget Jones" but with more intelligence and compassion than either of those . "

" I read it so you don't have to. A fiction book trying to be Eat, Pray, Love. The main character travels the world to interview single women and learns.... pretty much nothing. Oh, I mean, she learns that it is important for each of us to love ourselves. OK? "

" Mildly entertaining at best, pretty average for most. I found it depressing no mater what side of the fence your sitting in (married or unmarried, singled or coupled). Sadly comparable to Around the World in 80 dates, which was horrid. "

" Not a how-to manual but a mix of Sex & the City and Eat, Pray, Love. Stories about single women in New York, plus the author traveling the world researching what it's like to be single in various other countries. Actually surprisingly entertaining. "

" loved all of it! so funny, so real! "

" Capricious, vain, lost in a biological maze so mundane it's cliche. Prepare for crazy. A manual on how NYC women think. Easy and entertaining read. "

" got a little slow and annoying for a bit in the middle but I mostly loved it. I seriously laughed out loud repeatedly! There were also some touching moments. "

" A nice "chick lit" read. It was insightful, touching, fun and in a small dose empowering to read as a single lady. "

" Great beginning, great idea but bad ending "

" This was a really entertaining and fun read, a lot of good one-liners and funny truths. "

" I probably would have given this book 5 stars as a fun read but not sure I like how they end it "

" If I had read this book when I was single, I would have converted to Catholicism and joined a convent. "

" Easy to read, funny and sardonic, gave me a few chuckles. Liz Tuccillo was a writer for sex in the city and co-author of "he's just not that into you". "

" Liked it much more than I expected - especially the ending. It's like "Eat,Pray, Love" meets "Bridget Jones" but with more intelligence and compassion than either of those . "

" another $1 HPB find and I heard J. Aniston is going to be a movie based on this book soon. But I won't think about that... "

" This book made me feel like I could breathe better. I just loved it. "

" Liked it! Kinda eat, pray love esque. Not as good as Gilbert's writing style, but enjoyable non the less! "

" I would give this book three and a half stars if I could. it was certainly depressing at times, but I felt I could see a bit of myself in every character in this book, and found the sheer honesty of it to be remarkable. "

" I like seeing into people's lives; figuring out why the make the choices they do. I wasn't thrilled with the choices, but I liked the resolution. It left the the characters with hope. "

" Dramatic and Sincere. True heartfelt situations. "
