‘A joyous read’ Stylist

‘Fiercely honest and comforting’ Irish Independent

‘The book every single woman needs’ Rebecca Reid

Around 40 per cent of UK adults are single at any one time. Far from being a transitional state between relationships, singledom can offer freedom, self-discovery and self-determination. At the same time, there are challenges, from social to economic. How do you handle being ill if you are alone? Who do you call if you’re stranded out late at night? If you don’t find the right person to have a baby with, should you become a parent alone?

In Single, Nicola explores being un-partnered in a world designed for couples, and how to find the joy in the life that you are already living. If you are newly single, long-term single, avowedly single, reluctantly so, considering leaving your current relationship or just wondering what to say to your aunt next time she asks if you’ll ever get married – this book is for you.
