Book Synopsis'Sheryl Sandberg was right: the single most important career decision a woman makes is her choice of life partner. Brooks ignites that conversation for a new generation.' JAMILA RIZVI'Being the maximum version of yourself is a political act in a world where women continue to shrink themselves to build up or appease the men in front of them.'Today's young women are told we can be anything, so we search for a love to back us, not hold us back. We want the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle kind of love, not Prince William and Kate. Yet, while we unapologetically own our careers and lives and Bumble accounts, we're still unsure whether men truly accept-let alone desire-the women we have become. We are told to lean in at work, but wait for him to call. To ask for the pay rise, but not his number. We are ambitious at work but confused in love.Women's dating behaviour does not yet reflect the gender-equal partnerships we desire and dating literature has remained so focused on helping us lock down a partner, it has ignored what independent women actually want from men: more. The First Move is an insightful body of social research and a critique of our dating culture, interwoven with a young woman's call to finding contemporary love. Writer Emily J. Brooks explores women's socialisation, real negotiation, and the unwavering benefits of equality in our romantic relationships. When women demand a love that backs us, it lifts up the rest of our lives-so it is time for us to step into our power.Trade Review'Sheryl Sandberg was right: the single most important career decision a woman makes is her choice of life partner.

Book SynopsisTreva Brandon Scharf paid her dues, survived countless romances, relationships, boyfriends and breakups, heartaches, and heartbreaks. She loved and lost, she dumped and got dumped, and she lived to tell the story. This extremely talented blogger and writer became a first-time bride at the age of 51, and she's ready to tell all the juicy details of her long road to the altar. And what a story it is. Scharf's debut book is part self-help/dating advice, part-memoir, and 100% delightful. On her 50th birthday she met a fellow late bloomer. Fifty-six and never married, her future husband showed her what true love was all about: ""farting, burping, snoring, laughing, watching sports 24/7, and being all in when it came to wanting to be with me."" If women can stop laughing long enough, they'll realize they've just met a one-of-a- kind force of nature who has managed to acquire an invaluable store of knowledge on life love, personal growth, and it's all here for the taking. In Done Being Single, Scharf advocates for strong, independent singles, speaks for empowered women of all ages, and is the poster child for late blooming love. "You're never too old, and it's never too late," as Scharf reminds her readers.
