The Slightly series is Wendy Corsi Staub’s foray into romantic comedy, following a protagonist through five stages of modern love. Slightly Single (2002) starts with her navigating New York City dating life, and the series progresses through Slightly Settled, Slightly Engaged, Slightly Married, and finally Slightly Suburban (2008), covering the full journey from single woman to married suburbanite.
The series has a lighter tone than most of Staub’s work, leaning into humor and relatable romantic situations rather than suspense. It was published during the height of the chick lit boom and shares the genre’s interest in female friendship, career pressures, and the comedy of navigating adult relationships.
