It Just Hasn’t Happened Yet is the book millions of single women are waiting for. With a fresh, empowering perspective, It Just Hasn’t Happened Yet encourages single women to embrace what they know deep down—that they’re perfectly fine just the way they are. It presents a new angle sorely needed—one that emboldens, rather than blames. One that promotes remaining true to self, as opposed to changing to appeal to someone else.
It Just Hasn’t Happened Yet asserts that single women are smart, sexy, cream-of-the-crop “catches” that will eventually get “caught.” They aren’t screwed up and they can stop berating themselves for being single. They’re fabulous as is; it just hasn’t happened yet. Now that’s self-help!
It Just Hasn’t Happened Yet exposes skewed Self-Help reasoning for what it is—an effort to control the uncontrollable. We accept the conventional “get-a-man” theories claiming we’re too something because they afford us the illusion of control. All we have to do is stop being too something and presto! Prince Charming will appear! Clever, right? Not so much.
Each chapter of It Just Hasn’t Happened Yet tackles an issue very familiar to single women—the pressure we feel from desperate mothers, the lingering temptation to get back with no-good ex-boyfriends, and the asinine exegesis regarding our singleness—explanations such as, “You’re being too picky,” “You’re not trying hard enough,” and “You’ve got to get back out there.” Without minimizing the frustration women experience from such pernicious reproaches and formulaic platitudes, It Just Hasn’t Happened Yet’s casual, breezy tone will encourage us to laugh it off.
As a 39-year-old single woman, Dr. Karin Anderson has felt the sting from every imaginable commentary and criticism regarding her single status. She’s learned to gird herself and let ridiculous statements roll off her back. In Karin, readers find an understanding gal pal, sympathetic ally, and kindred “single woman” spirit because, unlike many self-help gurus, she’s walked in their shoes. They’ll resonate with her perspective and trust her approach and advice. As they embrace the message of the book, they’ll follow her lead, knowing there’s nothing more they should or could be doing and nothing they need to change—it just hasn’t happened yet.
