A funny, bittersweet, yet heartwarming book about a friendly relationship, family, and finding love in the Facebook era - not forgetting the perils, pitfalls, and dubious pleasures of life as today's young single girl - from Erin Duffy, the writer of the acclaimed Connection Girl. Ever since she was a little gal, Abby Wilkes imagined her wedding, your day when she'd wear a fairly white dress and appearance just like a princess.... But that was before her life fell apart for the entire world to see. Her longtime boyfriend-turned-fiancé, Ben, unceremoniously dumped her - changing his status to single on Facebook - while she was striving on the most stunning Vera Wang dress for the wedding day. Half a year and 20 pounds later, the usual remedies - cupcakes, a fridge stocked with pints of Ben and Jerry's, sweatpants, and a comfortable couch - haven't functioned their magic. Worried about her closest friend, Elegance devises the perfect plan to get Abby back again on her game. The two of them are going to break free sweltering Boston and its reminders of Ben and check out Newport for the summertime. In the quaint rented cottage by the ocean, the girls will enjoy cool breezes, cocktails, and crowds of stunning men. But whichever way they flip, Abby and Elegance find that in this age of social multimedia - when seemingly everyone is protecting every last detail of the lives online and prying eye are everywhere you go - there is absolutely no real escape. Real truth to tell, going out with has never been easy. However now that the guidelines have transformed and the boundaries are blurred beyond acknowledgement, will they ever before find real love? And if indeed they do, how can romance stand an opportunity whenever a girl's every term and move can go viral with a single click? As the summertime winds right down to Labor Day, Abby will make some unusual discoveries - about love, men, a friendly relationship...and, most significant, herself.
