五個獨自參加婚禮的單身熟男熟女:
漢娜仍然對前男友念念不忘,期待在婚禮重逢尋找復合的可能。
薇琪期望實踐小說裡激烈的愛情,在現實生活卻屢屢碰壁。
羅伯曾經有過友達以上的那個「她」,卻因自卑始終跨不過那條線。
菲爾對單親母親百般呵護,卻遭女友譏為「媽寶」憤而分手。
喬因職業倍受親人排擠,始終不敢向女友做出婚姻承諾。
一場婚禮,交織著愛情、責任、現實與妥協,
卻也因這五個人意外的聚首,碰撞出令人驚喜的轉機……
Take an instantly recognizable social dilemma—attending a wedding alone—add a good laugh (and maybe a cry), and meet The Singles, the warm and witty debut by Boston Globe “Love Letters” columnist Meredith Goldstein.
Beth “Bee” Evans’s first vow as a bride is that everyone on her list be invited to bring a guest to her lavish, Chesapeake Bay nuptials. When Hannah, Vicki, Rob, Joe, and Nancy one by one decline Bee’s generous offer, the frustrated bride dubs them the “Singles,” adrift on her seating chart as well as in life.
