Curated by journalist and author Angelica Malin, Unattached explores the nuances of being single today through the voices of thirty women; with personal essays from a multitude of game-changing voices, reflecting both the unique challenges of being single (hello, going to a wedding alone), and the glorious benefits of singlehood in a light-hearted way (goodbye, joint bank account).

The single positivity movement is here, and this book will turbo-charge the revolution. Unattached shines a light on brilliant women stepping into their power, shrugging off the shackles of traditional labels, owning being alone, and reveals the true depth of female potential when we choose to go against what society expects of us and revel in our own strength.

Critics Review

Malin has assembled an admirable and diverse roster of voices… fascinating

The Guardian

Unattached sees some of the UK’s best writers politely asking societal norms to move down the bench while celebrating and honouring oneself

Mashable

[Unattached] is an ode to the single positivity movement… The book celebrates shedding the weight of traditional labels and reclaiming the power of female solitude

Bustle

Inspired

Glamour

[Unattached] calls to broaden the definition of romance, to quit thinking of single life as mere prologue and to wonder whether the reason we’re taught to fear going solo might perhaps be that it makes us so very powerful
