The former Sex &
Relationships Editor for Cosmopolitan and host
of the wildly popular comedy show Tinder Live with Lane
Moore presents her poignant, funny, and deeply moving
first book.
Lane Moore is a rare
performer who is as impressive onstage—whether hosting her iconic
show Tinder Live or being the enigmatic front woman of It Was
Romance—as she is on the page, as both a former writer for The
Onion and an award-winning sex and relationships editor for
Cosmopolitan. But her story has had its obstacles, including being
her own parent, living in her car as a teenager, and moving to New
York City to pursue her dreams. Through it all, she looked to movies,
TV, and music as the family and support systems she never had.
From spending the
holidays alone to having better “stranger luck” than with those
closest to her to feeling like the last hopeless romantic on earth,
Lane reveals her powerful and entertaining journey in all its candor,
anxiety, and ultimate acceptance—with humor always her bolstering
force and greatest gift.
How to Be Alone
is a must-read for anyone whose childhood still feels unresolved, who
spends more time pretending to have friends online than feeling close
to anyone in real life, who tries to have genuine, deep conversations
in a roomful of people who would rather you not. Above all, it’s a
book for anyone who desperately wants to feel less alone and a little
more connected through reading her words.
