It's all about you. Your apartment. Your job. Your dates. Your sex life. Your time off. Your exercise. Your food. Your music. Your future. What are you waiting for? Who will you love? What is it, really, that you want?The life of a single woman in the twenty-first century is full of new connections, new sex, new love, and new loss. It's about letting the laundry pile up, sipping strong drinks with near strangers, and dishing to girlfriends on those foggy-headed, flushed morning-afters. But it isn't all heightened connections and steamy dates. The single girl is no stranger to the scramble for a Saturday night plan, the oh-so-promising guy who took her number at a party and then -- poof! -- disappeared, the ever narrowing circle of unattached girlfriends....In Sex and Sensibility twenty-nine of today's most acclaimed -- and often bestselling -- female authors write about the push-pull between independence and vulnerability, fearlessness and self-doubt that defines single life. Jennifer Weiner, Pam Houston, Laurie Notaro, Amy Sohn, and Julianna Baggott are just a few of the real-life heroines whose stories about long-distance dating, twenty-something divorce, online crushes, and thrilling one-night stands make up this funny, frank, and unabashedly erotic celebration of singlehood and sisterhood -- a quintessential handbook for today's independent woman.

Singlefrauen aufgepasst! Hier geht es um euer Leben: die Dates, die Liebe, der Sex. - Neunundzwanzig amerikanische Topautorinnen erzählen vom Singleleben in unserer Zeit und lassen dabei nichts aus: Vom prickelnden Online-Flirt über die systematische Vernachlässigung des Haushalts bis hin zum heißen One-Night-Stand (und dem emotionalen Kater danach) bieten sie wirklich alles und ziehen dabei sämtliche Register von herzzerreißend schön bis zum Schreien komisch. Library Journal „Die Wahrscheinlichkeit, in dieser Sammlung eine neue Lieblingsautorin zu entdecken, ist extrem hoch.“ Library Journal „Diese intelligenten, aufrichtigen Storys werden den Höhen und Tiefen des modernen Singlelebens voll und ganz gerecht, denn hier geben statt der üblichen idealisierten Klischees aufrichtige Gefühle den Ton an.“
