Über diesen Titel

Having a secret single freak-out? Feeling the red, heart-shaped urgency intensify as the years roll on by? Oh hi! You're in the right place.

Over half of Brits aged 25-44 are now single. It's become the norm to remain solo until much later in life, given the average marriage ages of 35 (women) and 38 (men). Many of us are choosing never to marry at all.

But society, films, song lyrics and our parents are adamant that a happy ending has to be couple-shaped. That we're incomplete without an 'other half'*, like a bisected panto pony. Cue: single sorrow. Dating like it's a job. Spending half our lives waiting for somebody-we-fancy to text us back. Feeling haunted by the terms 'spinster' or 'confirmed bachelor'.

Catherine Gray took a whole year off dating to find single satisfaction. She lifted the lid on the reasons behind the global single revolution, explored the bizarre ways cultures single-shame, detached from 'all the good ones are gone!' panic and debunked the myth that married people are much happier.

Let's start the reverse brainwash, in order to locate - and luxuriate in - single happiness. Are you in?

*Spoiler: you're already whole.

Kritikerstimmen

"This refreshing, unusual book needs to exist. A culture shift which repositions a single person as someone who is relationship-free, complete, and not lacking is long overdue." (The i )

The story is okay-ish but far too long and rather repetitive. At times I wasn't sure whether the book was supposed to be a memoir or a self-help book. The in-between the author landed on was at times exhausting to listen to. The speaker also was not an asset and did not sound very authentic and therefore not convincing to me. The German tradition of calling women of a certain age 'old boxes' she mentions has nothing to do with being single at all (as a German living in Germany I should know) and the word 'Wolfseinsamkeit' she quotes is quite unknown to me. Makes me a little doubtful of the other 'facts' and 'data' the author presents.

Too long, repetitive and not quite convincing
