BETA MALE

Book ID/图书代码： 04300009B33081

English Summary/英文概要： Sam Hunt is a confused modern male in his very late twenties. A work-shy, commitment-phobic, marriage-berating would-be actor, he has just been invited to his ex-girlfriend’s nuptials, and begins to feel that the big three-o might just be the beginning of the end. Beta males one and all, Sam and his friends may treasure their bachelor freedoms, but secretly they are terrified of ending up alone. Flatmate Alan, the sensible one, has just been proposed to by his girlfriend Jess in the most emasculating moment of his life, with his femme fatale boss looking on with a saucy gleam in her eye. Newly-dumped Ed spends his time ranting online and tearfully watching repeats of "Sex and the City" in a pile of his girlfriend’s pyjamas, while handsome Matt, a not-very-good doctor who has just lost his job, begins to hatch a dubious plan to ensnare a rich wife. "Beta Male" is a riotously funny, witty and painfully honest chronicle about the beginning of the end of the beginning of adulthood.
