The Second You're Single

內容簡介

內容簡介 自由作家索拉，在經歷過無數次背叛與失望後，她選擇相信慣性，放棄再去追求情感關係和戀愛。 一直暗示她減肥多去認識對象的媽媽，和即將結婚、人生進度完全超前的妹妹，與索拉消極的態度完全不同，但她覺得越少介入、越少期待，人生會過得更好。 她寧願待在家和她的牛頭梗在一起，情人節不過就是商人營造出來的節日，與其一再失望，不如回家吃一碗煎得脆脆的培根再來一杯龍舌蘭。 索拉甚至在她的文章裡鼓吹#gosolo的風潮，並以身示範為何保持單身是件酷事，直到…她在家附近的小商店遇見傑克‧曼恩。自從小學後，索拉從未想過會再遇見傑克，體貼、友善且身材還很好，但她知道這和#gosolo的形象實在差太多了，她不可能又要保持單身又同時談戀愛！再說，這段關係也可能和過去無數段令人失望透頂的經驗一樣，索拉心想，難道這次會有不一樣的結局？ Freelance writer Sora Reid believes in inertia. She’s the odd one out in a close-knit family of go-getters, including her Japanese-American mom, who hints about her need to lose weight, and her soon-to-be married, overachieving younger sister, who needs her to have a date for the wedding, since a wedding party couples’ dance with their Scottish great uncle Bob simply won’t do. For Sora, minimal input, minimal expectations is the way to go. She’d rather stay at home with her insufferable neighbor and her adorable pitbull. The one thing that disrupts her inertia: an intense dislike for Valentine’s Day. What is it with the commercial love machine? Why do we pin our hopes on one romantic day, when staying home with a package of bacon and a bottle of tequila would be way better? Sora’s been betrayed and disappointed more than once and her heart is starting to feel like her Grandma Mitsuye’s antique Japanese ceramic bowl, with its many gold-filled cracks. When her pledge to stay single in February inspires readers to #gosolo, Sora has a responsibility to empower her readers. But relationships aren’t built to last, so it shouldn’t be that hard. Right? Enter Jack Mann. A muscle-bound baker who looks like he lifts logs on the weekends, Sora hasn’t thought of Jack since they were in elementary school together. When they see each other at the local grocery store and the attraction hits hard, Sora knows she has to shut it down, quick. She can’t #gosolo AND get the guy. She can’t let down her readers. And relationships always end, so why should Jack be any different–even though he’s confounding all her long-held expectations of love?

作者介紹

作者介紹 Cara TanamachiCara Tanamachi lives near Chicago with her husband and five children (two by biology and three by marriage), and their 85-pound Goldendoodle, Theodore. Raised near Dallas, Texas by her Japanese-American dad and her English-Scottish American mom, she was the oldest of two children (the debate still rages whether she or her brother are currently the family favorite). The University of Pennsylvania (Go Quakers!) grad worked as a newspaper reporter, and then published many novels such as Dater's Handbook and The Love Cure under the name Cara Lockwood. A former single mom, she spent eight years dating (hilariously and awkwardly) before finding the love of her life on Bumble (yes, Bumble!). She believes we all could use a little more happily ever after.
