Book Price $0 : For the commitment-averse women in these eleven sublime laugh-out-loud stories, falling in love is never easy and always inconvenient. “Single, Carefree, Mellow is a lot like the women who populate it: smart and sexy and a little bit ruthless.” —Entertainment Weekly“Something like Cheever mixed with Ephron.” —The New York Times Book Review Maya is in love with both her boyfriend and her boss. Sadie’s lover calls her as he drives to meet his wife at marriage counseling. Nina is more worried that the Presbyterian minister living above her garage will hear her kids swearing than that he will find out she’s sleeping with her running partner.  The women grapple with love amidst everything from unwelcome houseguests to disastrous birthday parties as Katherine Heiny spins a debut that is superbly accomplished and endlessly entertaining.

I absolutely adored 'Single Carefree Mellow'. Lipman's writing is sharp, witty, and insightful. Each story captivates, with characters that leap off the page. It's a heartfelt portrayal of modern life, and I couldn't put it down. My copy arrived quickly and in pristine condition, which is always a plus. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone looking for a compelling read with depth and humor.

Lipman does a wonderful job exploring relationships in this book. The characters are well fleshed out, and there's a nice balance of humor and pathos throughout. I used my membership discount for this purchase, which made it even more worthwhile. While I enjoyed the stories, I felt a couple of them wrapped up too quickly, leaving me wanting more. Nonetheless, it's a solid read that I'd recommend.
