Single and Forced to Mingle
Book Feature - Single and Forced to Mingle by Melissa Croce
HBL Note: I do realize this is the second book I’ve featured about being single this holiday season (see my feature of Breakup Bootcamp, here)…I’m not hinting at anything, I promise! It has been a long time since I’ve been single (my husband and I got married in 2008!) But I was still intrigued by this book “offering activities like quizzes aimed at helping you find a new hobby and tarot spreads for that cozy Saturday night in.” Non-single people could enjoy a book like that, too!

From the publisher:
So, you’re single. Whether existing sans partner is a new state of being or you’ve been on this solo journey for a while, the fact of the matter is this: being single is actually awesome.
You can do whatever you want, travel wherever you want, and be your truest, most free self. But there are a lot of people out there—your mom, your married best friend, the wedding industry, society—who see things differently. To them, singledom is something to avoid at all cost, no matter how many times you tell them you love your life the way it is. The limit does not exist when it comes to telling Aunt Carol you still don’t want to be set up with her neighbor’s ex-stepson.
Now, Melissa Croce gives you the tips, tricks, and sage advice you need to graciously endure all of the cringe-worthy scenarios your single self may dread, from awkward small talk with an ex to navigating well-meaning but insensitive relatives. And it helps you truly flourish in your singledom, offering activities like quizzes aimed at helping you find a new hobby and tarot spreads for that cozy Saturday night in. Part real-world guide, part commiseration, and part celebration, Single and Forced to Mingle will steer you through the ups and downs of being single, reminding you just how good it feels to be free.
