Product Information
Jennifer Weiner's talent shines like never before in this collection of short stories, following the tender, and often hilarious, progress of love and relationships over the course of a lifetime. From a teenager coming to terms with her father's disappearance to a widow accepting two young women into her home, Weiner's eleven stories explore those transformative moments in our every day. We meet Marlie Davidow, home alone with her new baby late one Friday night, when she wanders onto her ex's online wedding registry and wonders what if she had wound up with the guy not taken. We stumble onGood in Bed'sBruce Guberman, liquored-up and ready for anything on the night of his best friend's bachelor party, until stealing his girlfriend's tiny rat terrier becomes more complicated than he'd planned. We find Jessica Norton listing her beloved New York City apartment in the hope of winning her broker's heart. And we follow an unlikely friendship between two very different new mothers, and the choices that bring them together -- and pull them apart. The Guy Not Takendemonstrates Weiner's amazing ability to create characters who "feel like they could be your best friend" (Janet Maslin) and to find hope and humor, longing and love in the hidden corners of our common experiences.

Reviews
"A wonderful natural writer and storyteller, Weiner renders her characters and their messy, sometimes wrenching lives in details that resonate as the real deal...smart, loveable, and mordantly funny."-- "Publishers Weekly", "Weiner balances romantic formula with fresh humor, deft characterizations, and literary sensibility."-- Elaine Showalter,The Guardian, "With keen insights into women's lives, Weiner takes the serious themes of commitment, self-esteem and identity and mixes in moments of laugh-out-loud humor."--The Philadelphia Inquirer, "Weiner has a brilliant eye for social stratum, character sketches, and renderings of suburban atmospherics." --The Washington Post Book World, "Weiner possesses a warm heart and a wickedly funny eye for social interaction. She writes to entertain, yes, but also to empathize and connect." --Baltimore Sun, "Hilarious, heartbreaking, and insightful, Weiner shows she can write with exquisite tenderness as well as humor." --The Miami Herald, "Weiner has a brilliant eye for social stratum, character sketches, and renderings of suburban atmospherics." -- "The Washington Post Book World", "Weiner balances romantic formula with fresh humor, deft characterizations, and literary sensibility." -- Elaine Showalter, "The Guardian", "A wonderful natural writer and storyteller, Weiner renders her characters and their messy, sometimes wrenching lives in details that resonate as the real deal...smart, loveable, and mordantly funny." --Publishers Weekly, "These autobiographical stories suggest that Weiner is the kind of wise-cracking pal who makes a great lunch date. In "Swim," a woman who left her TV job after her sexy writing partner led her on, then eloped with the show's star, helps a nebbish craft a personal ad. When he says he's picked 'Lonelyguy 78' as his screen name, she blurts, 'Was 'Desperateguy' taken?' Even a coda on the inspiration for the stories is a hoot. The heroines-hooked-on-bad-boys notion wears thin, but fans will savor Weiner's confidential tone and salty wit. Y3 out of 4 stars?" -- "People", "The Guy Not Takentakes Weiner to next level as author...With her latest collection Weiner is proving that the masters of the oft-maligned chick lit genre are voices to be reckoned with.

But I challenge anyone who says her short-story collection,The Guy Not Taken,isn't serious women's fiction. Not that there's anything wrong with chick lit, but the women in these stories are a far cry from the Manolo-obsessed bubbleheads sometimes found in chick lit novels. These women apply healthy doses of self-doubt, loneliness and misgivings along with their lip gloss and mascara.
