AS FEATURED IN THE TELEGRAPH

'Delightful, insightful and totally unapologetic' – Bella DePaulo, PhD, author of Single at Heart

'I smiled the whole way through this book!' – Jo Good, BBC Radio London

Being single and childfree is a choice, a joy and a life worth celebrating

Unmarried, childfree women are statistically the happiest demographic in society, so why is being single still treated as a consolation prize? With 45% of women predicted to be single by 2030, Lucy Meggeson believes it’s about time we level the playing field.

Through candid conversations and personal experience, Lucy dives into the ups and downs (mostly ups!) of being single and childfree. She explores living and travelling alone, nurturing your friendships, where sex fits in, and how to embrace your sense of freedom.

Part investigation, part celebration, Shiny Happy Singles inspires single women everywhere to thrive in a world that insists happiness only comes in pairs.
