A mosaic of human connections in all their shades – from breaking up to making out, quiet contentment to agonising loneliness, sexting to ghosting, friendships to ‘fuckboys’, pregnancy loss to profound fulfilment. ‘??' – Maya Jama ‘Utterly fascinating’ – Bernardine Evaristo ‘Dolly Alderton for people who don’t just do missionary’ – Anon If you’ve ever checked your ex’s social media at 2am – or their new partner’s LinkedIn (because it’s the only social profile you can access) – or if everyone thinks you’re the perfect couple but you’ve been drifting apart for years – then you’ve probably felt a smarting of shame. But let me tell you something radical: your darkest secrets, your most repulsively shameful thoughts, feelings, and behaviours: you’re not alone. Featuring 250 real-life anonymous submissions, this book peels back the layers of modern relationships. These aren’t love stories – they’re stories about love.
