Se lui non ti chiama, se lui non ti sposa, se lui non ti dice mai "ti amo", non farti illusioni... Se un uomo ti vuole, te lo fa capire. Se non ti vuole invece, cerca di svignarsela, si nasconde dietro mille scuse e magari è capace addirittura di dare la colpa a te! E se non ci pensa lui a giustificarsi, ci pensi tu, arrovellandoti, ossessionando le amiche, sprecando lacrime e sonno: «Forse non vuole rovinare la nostra amicizia», «Non è colpa sua, ma della sua famiglia», «È troppo preso dal lavoro», «Ha paura di soffrire ancora». Basta con le seghe mentali! Questo libro ti insegnerà a riconoscere le giustificazioni vere da quelle false e ti aiuterà a non perdere altro tempo con inutili illusioni. Un libro senza mezzi termini, divertente, ironico, acuto e di una franchezza salutare.

Wanita memang fitrahnya suka meluah. Mereka gemar berbincang sesama sendiri tentang pelbagai perkara, termasuklah perihal perhubungan, cinta, dan lelaki. Mereka mampu duduk berbincang selama berjam-jam sambil menganalisa hati lelaki yang kononnya begitu kompleks untuk difahami. Hakikatnya, Lelaki tidak kompleks. Sangat tidak kompleks! Jikalau mereka suka, mereka suka. Jikalau mereka tidak suka, mereka tidak suka. Itu sahaja. Soalnya sekarang, mereka tidak akan beritahu sekiranya mereka tidak punya perasaan, atau tidak cukup suka pada seseorang wanita itu. Mereka lebih suka memilih untuk melakukan perkara-perkara yang akhirnya akan mengelirukan wanita itu sendiri. Menerusi buku “10 Tanda Lelaki Tidak Mencintai Wanita” ataupun judul asalnya He’s Just Not That Into You, Greg Behrendt dan Liz Tuccillo akan membantu pembaca memahami hakikat apabila seorang lelaki tidak menyimpan perasaan istimewa terhadap seorang wanita.

Julie egy New York-i könyvkiadóban végzi unalmas munkáját, a hétvégéi sem túl szórakoztatóak, és egy rémesen sikerült pasizós buli után úgy határoz, itt az idő tisztába tenni a magánéletét. Mivel kap egy szuper lehetőséget, végigutazza a világot, és megnézi, hogyan élnek máshol a párkereső nők, hogy élményeiből könyvet írjon. Négy szingli barátnője otthon asszisztál a projekthez, és istápolják egymást a világutazó Julie helyett is. A barátnők hétköznapi, negyven év körüli nők – a lombikbébiprogrammal kacérkodó Ruby, az éppen önmegtartóztató életre esküdő Serena, a tökéletes pasit kereső Alice és a kétgyerekes Georgia, akit otthagyott a férje – viccesen-komolyan próbálják visszaterelni életüket a „rendes” kerékvágásba. Szerelem Balin, romantika Rióban, szex egy kolostorban, randik, szakítások-békülések, egy válás, a barátság ereje, kis és nagy szerelmek, és az örök kérdés: hol az igazi boldogság? Liz Tuccillo társszerzője a Nem kellesz eléggé című nagysikerű könyvnek, amelyből hasonló címmel film is készült, illetve egyik írója volt a Szex és New York sorozatnak. A szerző mindent tud a párkeresésről, így nem csoda, hogy a kézirat által inspirált Hogyan legyünk szinglik című filmet 2016 elejétől már vetítik a mozikban. Nem kell szinglinek lenned ahhoz, hogy imádd ezt a könyvet! Fejős Éva

Par un frais matin d’octobre, Julie Jenson, publiciste célibataire de trente-huit ans, se rend à son bureau lorsqu’elle reçoit un appel de son amie Georgia, au bord de la crise de nerfs : son mari la quitte ! Malgré tout, cette dernière réussit à convaincre Julie d’organiser une sortie avec toutes leurs amies célibataires pour se convaincre qu’on s’éclate bien mieux quand on est libre. La soirée qui commence avec quelques verres, s’achève aux urgences de l’hôpital, ce qui provoque chez Julie une véritable prise de conscience. Lasse de ses déboires et de ses déceptions sentimentales, elle quitte son emploi et se lance dans un tour du monde pour comprendre comment les femmes d’ici et d’ailleurs vivent le célibat. De Paris à Rio, en passant par Bali, Julie va découvrir l’aventurière qui sommeillait en elle.

Essere single, o forse meglio zitelle: una maledizione o una scelta di vita? Possibile che tante donne belle, intelligenti, in carriera, non riescano a trovare un uomo che sappia amarle e proteggerle come meritano, e continuino a collezionare solo rapporti sbagliati? Se lo chiede Julie, brillante scrittrice di Manhattan, dopo una serata disastrosa con le sue quattro migliori amiche, una serata iniziata a ballare scatenate sul bancone di un bar e conclusasi al pronto soccorso. La domanda «Perché non riesco a trovare un uomo?» non se la pongono solo Julie e le sue amiche di New York, ma anche centinaia di donne in ogni parte del mondo, così Julie decide di affrontare il problema da scrittrice. Partirà per un viaggio ai quattro angoli del pianeta, dalla Francia all’Australia, passando per Roma, Rio de Janeiro, Pechino e Nuova Dehli, in un’avventurosa indagine sulla ricerca dell’amore, sul sesso, sulla passione ma anche sull’amicizia, la solidarietà, la complicità femminile. Mentre Julie viaggia e incontra donne diverse con gli stessi problemi, a New York le sue amiche continuano la loro difficile esistenza, fra tradimenti, tragici appuntamenti al buio, ricerca di donatori di sperma e battaglie per l’affidamento dei figli... Esiste una regola dell’amore? O forse il bello dell’amore è proprio non avere regole? Dall’autrice della serie cult Sex and the City, una nuova, esilarante commedia sull’amore e sul sesso, una storia in cui ogni donna, single o no, saprà riconoscersi con una risata liberatoria.

Männer sind nicht kompliziert. Und sie senden keine undeutlichen Signale aus, denn ihre Taten sprechen deutlicher als alle Worte: »Wenn er dich will, lässt er ́s dich wissen.

Desde hace siglos, las mujeres se reúnen o se pasan horas hablando por teléfono para analizar la conducta desconcertante de los hombres. Estas son algunas de las frases que se oyen: «Debe de tener miedo de que le hagan daño otra vez.» «Puede que no quiera arruinar nuestra amistad.» «A lo mejor no se anima a acercarse más a mí porque lo intimido.» «Lo que pasa es que acaba de salir de otra relación.» ¿Te suenan familiares? Greg Behrendt y Liz Tuccillo han venido a decirte que -pese a tus buenas intenciones- es posible que estés perdiendo el tiempo. Los hombres no son complicados, aunque les guste que tú creas que lo son. Y no existen los mensajes ambiguos. La cuestión es: ¿De verdad está tan loco por ti? O sencillamente: ¿Está tan interesado por ti como crees? Este libro, escrito por los expertos en relaciones de pareja de la serie Sexo en Nueva York, enseña a mujeres, por lo demás inteligentes, a distinguir cuándo no le gustan lo suficiente a un hombre, para que así puedan dejar de perder el tiempo inventando excusas para salvar una relación sin futuro. Sabemos que eres una mujer guapa, lista y divertida que merece algo mejor. La próxima vez que sientas la necesidad de «entenderlo», considera la espléndida idea de que tal vez él no está tan loco por ti. Y libérate para ir a buscar al hombre que de verdad lo esté. It''s a classic single-woman scenario: you really like this guy, but he''s giving mixed messages. You make excuses, decide he''s confused, afraid of commitment. Behrendt, a former executive story editor for Sex and the City--and a formerly single (now happily married) guy who knows all the excuses--provides a simple answer: he''s just not that into you. Stop kidding yourself, let go and look for someone else who will be. After all, as Behrendt sensibly puts it, "if a (sane) guy really likes you, there ain''t nothing that''s going to get in his way." If you''re not convinced yet, by all means read this smart, funny and surprisingly upbeat little book, full of q''s and a''s covering every excuse woman has ever made to avoid admitting to herself that a man just wasn''t that smitten with her.

Sabe por que ele não apareceu naquela noite tão especial? Por que disse que não teve tempo de comprar seu presente de aniversário? Por que não conseguiu um momento vago na agenda para telefonar? E você, bem, você tem sempre uma desculpa, a pior de todas, na maioria das vezes, para justificar as atitudes dele e o que é mais grave, perdoá-lo. Mesmo contra a sua vontade chegou a hora de conhecer toda a verdade. E ela é curta e grossa. Ele simplesmente não está a fim de você. Doeu? É para doer mesmo. Foi forte demais? A intenção era essa. O próximo passo é jogar fora todas as desculpas. Nada de frases melodramáticas, daquela tsunami de lágrimas, de possíveis encontros para discutir a relação. Mas o show não pode parar, assim de repente, certo? Greg e Liz integraram a equipe de redação de Sex and the city, e, portanto, sabem do que estão falando. Acostumados a escrever sobre comportamento, relacionamentos, pessoas, descobriram que ''quanto mais a mulher se valoriza, maior a chance de conseguir algo parecido'', resolveram passar isso adiante para que mulheres lindas, inteligentes e engraçadas não se deixem envolver por desculpas esfarrapadas e possam esquecer todas elas e dar boas risadas.
