On a brisk October morning in New York, Julie Jenson, a single thirty-eight-year-old book publicist, is on her way to work when she gets a hysterical phone call from her friend Georgia. Reeling from her husband's announcement that he is leaving her for a samba teacher, Georgia convinces a reluctant Julie to organize a fun girls' night out with all their single friends to remind her why it is so much fun not to be tied down. But the night, which starts with steaks and martinis and ends with a trip to the hospital, becomes a wake-up call for Julie. Because none of her friends seems to be having much fun right now. Fed up with the dysfunction and disappointments of being single in Manhattan, Julie quits her job and sets off to find out how women around the world are dealing with this dreaded phenomenon. From Paris to Rio to Sydney, Bali, Beijing, Mumbai, and Reykjavik, Julie falls in love, gets her heart broken, sees the world, and learns more than she ever dreamed possible. Julie Jenson es una soltera de treinta y tantos que trabaja como publicista en una editorial de autoayuda. Al ver como su amiga Georgia se hunde tras su divorcio, se le ocurre reunir a varias amigas solteras para una noche de juerga y recordarse lo genial que es vivir sin ataduras. Asi, Serena, una loca del yoga y de la espiritualidad; Alice, una abogada activista de los derechos de los mas necesitados; y Ruby, una amante de los animales, deciden salir y celebrar su solteria. Sin embargo, la noche no acaba como ellas suponian y Julie charla con dos francesas que le dicen que las mujeres solteras americanas no tienen orgullo. Curiosa, Julie decide escribir un libro acerca de como las mujeres viven su solteria en distintos lugares del mundo. Deja su trabajo y emprende un viaje por todo el mundo en el que descubrira muchas cosas acerca de las relaciones de pareja y de si misma. / Soon to be a major motion picture starring Dakota Johnson, Rebel Wilson, Alison Brie, Leslie Mann, and Damon Wayans Jr.!
