Synopsis

“Hilarious.” —Cosmopolitan

A laugh-out-loud, tongue-in-cheek guidebook filled with hilarious and helpful advice—from how to dodge family members’ unwanted questions about babies to successfully creating a fake partner during wedding season—for anyone trying to survive and thrive in the midst of singledom. Perfect for fans of Hey Ladies! and Single State of Mind.

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.

Goodreads review by Sabi

This was fun but I think readers should go with the physical format of the book as it has quizzes, astrological reading and more that would be better to read than listen. Do not read if you are in a relationship tho, as the foundation of the book is definitely opposite to it. Has a lot of pop cultu......more

Well this was fun......more

Goodreads review by Jordyn

Single and Forced to Mingle is a funny and empowering piece for young single people. It gives you tips and tricks on how to navigate those family gatherings where EVERYONE is asking when you’re going to settle down and *shiver* cuffing season and all those couple-y holidays and activities.

While I'm not the intended target audience for this book (at least not rn 😂), it was good and hilarious. I enjoyed the quizzes and work activities though. Plus the holiday's citations (I have no idea about some of the holidays mentioned in the book 😳). The movie guides and holiday activities ideas.......more
