feels absolutely surreal to be posting this but⌠I wrote a book and itâs coming out in a few months time!!! itâs called:
â¤ď¸âđĽ ITâS NOT LOVE, ACTUALLY â¤ď¸âđĽ
and itâs all about encouraging women to stop settling for shitty relationships and embrace the life and love they deserve.
I spent most of my early dating life trying to be the âcoolâ girl. shrinking myself, settling for low-effort guys and feeling like I was too much. if you can relate (or know someone who does) this book is for you. itâs the dating bible i wish I had growing up. thereâs lots of vulnerable personal stories, research, expert advice and hard truths unpacking how the patriarchy has shaped our expectations around love, sex and relationships, so we can finally unlearn all that bullshit.
Available for pre-order now in paperback, ebook and audio. Link in bio! You can find it in-stores and online from April 28.
