“So, when are you getting married?”
Whether it's a well-meaning aunt, a nagging mother, your just-hitched best friend, or your inner voice, we’ve all experienced the marriage question and the awkward conversation that follows.
I Get It, I’m Single! is the book to help you realize that you don’t need to answer the marriage question. Being single in your 20s, 30s, and beyond is an entirely valid life choice, and is preferable to settling down with someone you don’t really love—or who doesn’t really respect or love you—before you’re ready to. This isn’t a book about insulting marriage or the decision to lead more traditional lives; instead, it’s about realizing that getting hitched when we’re barely out of high school or university is becoming an outdated concept that doesn’t fit with our modern world or lives as well as it used to, and you shouldn’t feel pressured into that role if you don’t want it!
