By Mandy Hale   |   June 30, 2026

Wrong turns, humiliating flops, painful heartbreaks--and happiness? Yes, believe it or not, they "can "go hand in hand.Blogger and author Mandy Hale, affectionately known as "The Single Woman" to her half-million social-media followers, is living an adventurous life that proves even our lowest lows and messiest mess-ups can point us toward our joy-filled destiny as single women. In "I've Never Been To Vegas," " But My Luggage Has," Mandy delivers heart-to-heart, often hilarious stories from a life filled with love and loss, glamour and goose bumps, faith and friendship, big dreams and battle scars. She shares the bittersweet euphoria of her high-school romance, the panic-stricken cluelessness of her first day on a stressful job, and the foot-in-mouth horror of her red-carpet interview with a music legend.Along the way, Mandy dollops personal anecdotes with encouraging insights. From thrilling first kisses to crushing break-ups, from soaring career milestones to promising flights that never quite got off the ground, she unfolds in often uproarious detail the zigzags along the path toward a pinnacle moment: sharing a table and a pinch-me-I'm-dreaming conversation with her lifelong hero.In the end, Mandy turns Sin City's infamous marketing slogan on its head: What "happens" in her life doesn't "stay" in her life. She shares even her darkest moments in witty, winsome ways that make us not only feel her pain, but also laugh with her and apply her hard-won nuggets of inspiration to our own lives."Happily Ever After" might not look or feel quite like what we expect, but as Mandy is discovering--and as we can discover along with her--it is "well" within our reach.

The architectural brilliance of I've Never Been to Vegas, but My Luggage Has: Mishaps and Miracles on the Road to Happily Ever After resides in its meticulously crafted prose. Mandy Hale has delivered a manuscript that transcends its genre, offering a profound reflection on the human condition that lingers long after the final page is turned.
