Tuccillo, a former story editor of HBO's Sex and the City, shows that she can tell a story on the page as well as she can on the small screen. Her novel cleverly moves back and forth between the heroine's travels all over the world to her friends dealing with the everyday minutiae back home in New York City. Where the story falters some is that
in most -- although not all -- of the man/woman relationships, the women are rarely, if ever, at fault, and the men are painted as villains.
Summary: Living in New York and
surrounded by her single and soon-to-be-single female friends, 38-year-old Julie makes a life-altering decision. She's going to write a self-help book, not extolling the methods for finding a mate, but interviewing women all over the world who have learned how to enjoy being single. In the meantime, her friends band together in Julie's absence and discover that enjoying each other's friendship is one surefire way to avoid dwelling in singleton hell. (Atria, Jun., 354 pp., $24.95)
