Synopsis

Eva Perino is single and proud of it. Owner of The Grounds, a coffee shop nestled in the heart of a college town, thirtysomething Eva cherishes her comfortable life filled with quirky friends, a fun job, and no significant other. In fact, she’s so content to be on her own that she started a blog about it: Why I Love Singlehood. Yet when she hears the news of her ex-boyfriend’s engagement, her confidence in her single status takes a surprisingly hard hit.So begins Eva’s clumsy (and occasionally uproarious) search for love as she secretly joins an online dating site, tries her hand at speed-dating, and breaks her own rule by getting involved with one of The Grounds’ regulars. Soon Eva is forced to figure out exactly who—or what—is the true love of her life. Sparkling with warmth and wit, Why I Love Singlehood is a charming and insightful must-read for anyone—single or otherwise—who has ever been stymied by love.

Goodreads review by Fyreball on July 12, 2013

WILS is way better than I expected. It's smartly written chick lit with real-world characters (none of the men are possessive alpha-males and no one is over the top beautiful, for example). Eva (pronounced Ayvah, not Eevah, this is a part of her dating stories) is going through a very early mid-life......more

Goodreads review by Amber on April 23, 2013

I found the writing forced, trivial, and downright cheesy. I actually groaned out loud a couple times. However, after reading some heavier books in recent weeks, this light read was a welcome reprieve. This is the second book of Elisa's I've read. I enjoyed Adulation- it was quite as forced, though......more
