Book description
How to Be Single - An Audiobook That Makes You Want to Grab Your Passport
Liz Tuccillo's How to Be Single is the kind of audiobook that feels like a chat with your best friend over coffee, only louder and with more travel gossip. From the same mind behind He's Just Not That Into You, Tuccillo weaves humor, heart, and a dash of wanderlust into a story about Julie Jenson-a thirty-seven-year-old book publicist in New York who suddenly finds herself forced to confront what it really means to be single.
The narrative kicks off when Julie's friend Georgia's husband dumps her for a samba teacher, prompting an emergency girls' night out that ends up doing the exact opposite of what was intended. The fallout is so intense that Julie quits her job and embarks on a globe-trotting quest: Paris, Brazil, Sydney, Bali, Beijing, Mumbai, Reykjavik...you name it. Each stop brings a new woman, a fresh perspective on love, loss, and independence. Tuccillo's voice-sharp, witty, and impossibly relatable-keeps the listener hooked as Julie falls in love one moment and gets heart-broken the next.
What makes this audiobook shine is its authenticity. It doesn't sugarcoat the pitfalls of singledom; instead it dives into bad blind dates, loveless engagements, custody battles, single motherhood, and even grief-all while keeping the tone light enough to make you laugh out loud. Tuccillo's prose feels like a series of candid confessions that could have been pulled straight from a diary or a late-night text thread.
The production quality is top notch: a smooth narrator captures every inflection, turning the story into an engaging listening experience that can accompany your daily commute, workout, or weekend getaway. Whether you're already single, hoping to be, or simply fascinated by modern romance, How to Be Single offers both entertainment and insight.
In short, this audiobook is a breezy summer read (and listen) that hits the mark on every level-humor, honesty, and an adventurous spirit that will leave you eager for your own next chapter.

๐ถ Music? Nah, I prefer immersing myself in captivating stories with this app! ๐ถ๐ Streamlining my audiobook journey โ this app's design is top-notch. A functional audiobook. It kept me entertained, but I wasnโt blown away. The narratorโs performance was competent, though some emotional scenes fell a bit flat. Middle-of-the-road experience. The audiobook was fineโgood narration, decent storyโbut it didnโt leave a lasting impression. If youโre looking for something low-commitment, this works.
