Book Synopsis

How to Get Along Without Me is a collection that summons the perversity and poignance of twentysomething dating lives from a bracingly wry and honest new literary voice. In a world designed for couples, the protagonists of these interconnected stories have easy access to acquaintances with benefits but no paths to emotional intimacy.

“Viciously funny and unashamedly sexy stories that plumb the loneliness of desire from first swipe to coupledom.&
