About the book
Jennifer Weiner's talent is displayed beautifully in this collection of short stories, which delves into the tender and often humorous journey through love and relationships across a lifetime. In eleven stories, Weiner explores those pivotal moments that shape our everyday lives.
We are introduced to Marlie Davidow, who finds herself alone with her newborn baby one Friday night, browsing her ex's online wedding registry and wondering about the road not taken. We witness Good in Bed's Bruce Guberman, intoxicated and game for anything on his best friend's bachelor party night, getting more than he bargained for when he steals his girlfriend's small rat terrier. Jessica Norton endeavors to win her broker's heart by listing her cherished New York City apartment. And we witness an unlikely bond forming between two very different new mothers, as they navigate the choices that bring them together and pull them apart.
In The Guy Not Taken, Weiner showcases her talent for creating characters that are relatable and endearing, with a knack for finding hope, humor, yearning, and love in the ordinary moments of life.
