A startlingly honest account of long-term singledom hits a courageous sweet spot, tackling the issue with heart… Her singular voice on this (almost) taboo subject is to be celebrated. * Sunday Times, Books of the Year *
Amy Key writes with rare integrity, courage and style… A beautiful and necessary book. – Sarah Perry, author of The Essex Serpent
