How to Be Single

Liz Tuccillo, , read by Judy Greer. . Simon & Schuster Audio, $29.95 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-7435-6967-5

The debut novel of former Sex and the City story editor Tuccillo will most likely appeal to fans of the TV series simply because it’s a look-alike. The star here is Julie Jenson, a single 38-year-old woman living in New York and searching for love. When her three friends aren’t any help, Julie travels the world to discover the reasoning behind the single life. Judy Greer’s voice is eerily similar to that of Sarah Jessica Parker’s. Listeners will be hard pressed not to picture the actresses of the show as the story plays out. Greer’s delivery is strong and unabashed and will surely appeal to female listeners. The biggest downside is that it’s all been done before, and this audiobook pales in comparison. An Atria hardcover (Reviews, Apr. 21). (July)
