Summary:

American gals are taking liberties-and pursuing happiness on their own terms-in this star-studded story collection featuring the nation's red-hot women writers. Jennifer Weiner (In Her Shoes) learns "The Truth About Nigel"-and the trouble with falling for an incognito Hollywood actor. Lauren Weisberger (The Devil Wears Prada) sends a single New Yorker on a backpacking trip halfway around the world-where she sees her love life back home with new eyes-in "The Bamboo Confessions." A harried mom with a hit novel crosses the pond in "My Great Brit Book Tour" by Adriana Trigiani (Lucia, Lucia), and turns a crumbling talk show appearance into a sweet success.
