Singletini: the book and the drink

Singletini

SINGLETINI: A curious type of female typically found living in urban settings, possessing an unusual, some would say deathly, fear of growing up and getting married.

As possibly cheesy and chick lit standard as this sounds, I can't help but be intrigued by a book and a drink by the name of Singletini by Amanda Trimble. Of course I'm going to devour it, much like I occasionally sip and greatly enjoy a dirty martini. At the very least, I love the marketing, which includes a contest (tell her your most horrifying hookup story) and tells how her agent, Jenny Bent of Trident Media Group, came up with the twist of the protagonist being a "wingwoman," after reading an article in The New York Times. (about and housed at Wingwomen.com) Yes, there's a part of me that wants to hate the very idea of such a book, but a) I am trying to work on the shadenfreude and b) there's an even bigger part of me that knows I can't waiat to read this. And, yes, c, I don't want to be single forever.
