Single, Not Sorry

SINGLE, NOT SORRY: The rise of singledom, by chance or by choice is a collection of reported stories and personal reflections that explore why, in many parts of the world, women are choosing or finding themselves without a partner. It delves into dating trends that cause an ageing population, the way romantic comedies skewed millennials' perception of love, the nightmares of online dating, parasocial relationships, and shifting gender roles, among other things. It's a book radical in its ordinariness but popping with wit, nuanced observations, and meaningful conversations with women and experts around Asia. Through the lens of pop culture, religion, politics, and mental health, the book looks into why so many women have stopped looking for romantic love—and the thoughts, worries, and anxieties that come with this. It's not a self-help book, not a dating tutorial. Rather, it's about our ever-evolving idea of a happy ending.
