Chances are you've been there before: On an awkward first date where you find yourself stuck playing 20 questions with a person who has broccoli stuck in their teeth, or the one who shows up so on-the-rocks wasted that they end up passed out in their bowl of clam chowder before the main course arrives. All My Friends Are Engaged is a collection of dating disaster stories, packed with witty and relatable answers to the age-old annoying question of "Why are you still single?"

Story
Il y a plus de deux cents superhéros à Toronto. Aucun n’a d’identité secrète et peu d’entre eux portent un costume. Ils sont parmi nous. Ils se nomment Super-Influenceuse, Super-Amphibien, Super-Infosolde… Plusieurs sont des amis de Tom, sauf que Tom, lui, n’est pas super. Pire, il est invisible aux yeux de sa douce, Super-Perfectionniste, depuis que le très jaloux Super-Hypno lui a jeté un sort. Sa mission: réussir à se faire voir par celle qu’il aime et qui prend l’avion pour refaire sa vie, loin de lui.

Story
Beth and Jennifer know their company monitors their office email. But the women still spend all day sending each other messages, gossiping about their coworkers at the newspaper and baring their personal lives like an open book. Jennifer tells Beth everything she can't seem to tell her husband about her anxieties over starting a family. And Beth tells Jennifer everything, period. When Lincoln applied to be an internet security officer, he hardly imagined he'd be sifting through other people's inboxes like some sort of electronic Peeping Tom.

Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.
