Curated by journalist and author Angelica Malin, Unattached explores the nuances of being single today through the voices of thirty women; with personal essays from a multitude of game-changing voices, reflecting both the unique challenges of being single (hello, going to a wedding alone), and the glorious benefits of singlehood in a light-hearted way (goodbye, joint bank account).

The single positivity movement is here, and this book will turbo-charge the revolution. Unattached shines a light on brilliant women stepping into their power, shrugging off the shackles of traditional labels, owning being alone, and reveals the true depth of female potential when we choose to go against what society expects of us and revel in our own strength.

Goodreads review by Nidhi on April 18, 2022

I enjoy reading feminist writings and the sub genre of women who live alone (by choice or circumstance). Its amazing to me how such a huge demographic is never really viewed for what they are; strong, successful women not defined by their relationship status. In a world which is built for couples an......more

Goodreads review by Elmi on July 15, 2024

Hmm, yeah, it's a good reminder to enjoy a single life. Many essays are borderline cringe, where people are reminding themselves why they are single and should want to be single. This is for a specific target audience. I’ve been single for most of my life, so for me, it is what it is. Although I wou......more
