The Catholic Girl's Survival Guide for the Single Years: The Nuts and Bolts of Staying Sane and Happy While Waiting on Mr. Right

Three parts sexual license, two parts corporate I ladder, with a dash of Monolo Blahnik. If a woman's single years were a cocktail, that would be the f culture's preferred recipe.

Alternatively there's two parts husband-hunting novena, one part weeping and gnashing of teeth, with a generous splash of "Offer It Up", which makes for a more sanctifying albeit equally unsatisfying brew.

Then, there's this book.

Equal parts fun and faithful, The Catholic Girl's Survival Guide dishes on dating, sex, finances, work, depression, and more, offering women who are navigating the years between college and "I do" a recipe for the single life that's honest, spirited, and ultimately hopeful.
