Read from August 21 to 22, 2012

In this book of hilarious short stories, Jennifer Weiner tackles it all: online dating, NYC real estate, divorce, ex-boyfriends and motherhood. In my personal favorite piece, “The Guy Not Taken,” a young mother stumbles upon the online wedding registry of an ex-boyfriend and begins to ponder how her life would be different had she wound up with him. After hacking into the registry and changing the bride’s name to her own, she awakens in an alternate-IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE-type universe. But as she learns, the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.
