Love (or at the very least, desire) always finds a way, right? The true stories in this collection reflect our basic human desire to connect with others, physically and emotionally – and we won’t let a little thing like a pandemic stand in our way.

Sometimes funny and romantic, often disastrous and heartbreaking, our brave contributors share their adventures in online dating, dating long distance, dating by stealth, and trying to date but failing. Despite being light-hearted or simply-told, all of the stories demonstrate in their own way, how deeply complex, lonely and profound life can be in lockdown.

Join us as we celebrate and commiserate about dating during a pandemic.

We'll be offering drinks and light refreshments during the event, but then you're welcome to stay on and keep celebrating!

We will have books for sale at the launch, or you can pre-purchase now and collect it in person: Book sales If you can't make it to the launch, we'll post it to you after 15 December.
