A mosaic of human connections in all their sexy and shameless shades – from breaking up to making out, quiet contentment to agonising loneliness, sexting to ghosting, friendships to ‘fuckboys’, pregnancy loss to profound fulfilment.

If you’ve ever checked your ex’s social media at 2am – or their new partner’s LinkedIn (because it’s the only social profile you can access) – or if everyone thinks you’re the perfect couple but you’ve been drifting apart for years – then you’ve probably felt a smarting of shame. But let me tell you something radical: your darkest secrets, your most repulsively shameful thoughts, feelings, and behaviours: you’re not alone.

Featuring 250 tantalising, unfiltered anonymous confessions, this book slips beneath the surface of modern relationships to reveal the raw hidden truths behind their most intimate layers.

These aren’t love stories – they’re stories about love.
