Sample Book Insights:

#1 I am lying in my grandmother’s bed, listening to church bells and Noel Edmonds. I am not crying, but I am in a state of pure numbness. I am going to lie here forever.

#2 When you have been with someone for the majority of your adult life, it can be a shock to realize that you have no idea who you are without them. You have no idea what you eat, when you sleep, whom you know, what you own, or how you talk.

#3 The math told me that if I wanted to start trying for a baby before I was thirty-five, I needed to meet someone by the time I was 32. That would give us a few years to enjoy together as a couple before we started shagging with intent.

#4 All heartbroken women should get a week's stay in an institution where they can escape their real lives and be checked into a large, semimunicipal building where the proximity of death makes a mockery of heartache.
