Publisher's Summary

One of VOGUE's 6 Female Writers to Read in 2018

It's not always easy to find self-worth in a world that seems obsessed with telling us we're not good enough. Empowering, intimate and full of heart, this highly anticipated debut audiobook from the online sensation 'The Slumflower', aka Chidera Eggerue, the unstoppable force behind the groundbreaking movement #SAGGYBOOBSMATTER, is essential listening for all young women. It's time to take charge of your life.

In What a Time to Be Alone, The Slumflower will be your life guru, confidante and best friend. She'll show you that being alone is not just okay: it's just about the best freaking thing that's ever happened to you. As she says, 'You're bad as hell and you were made with intention.' It's about time you realised. Peppered with insightful Igbo proverbs from Chidera's Nigerian mother and narrated by the author, this audiobook will help you to navigate the modern world. We can all decide our own fates, and Chidera shows us how, using a three-part approach filled with sass, wisdom and charm.

Learn how to celebrate you - decide your self-worth, take time to heal and empower yourself in this messy world.

Don't worry about them - avoid other people's demons and realize that everyone is protecting themselves from something - no matter how aggressive their method.

Feel the togetherness in US - sustain and grow healthy relationships and avoid toxicity in your friendships.

Own your story. Create your own narrative. Listen to this audiobook. #WATTBA

A Must Read!

I loved the “No Bullshit” approach. Chidera’s book is packed full of so much wisdom. Be ready to be called out, and to do some self reflection, but I promise you that this book is worth the the sting that some of her words carry. I loved it and will absolutely read again whenever I need a reminder of how amazing I truly am.

A book we all need to hear/read

This book offers advice from beginning to end that we all need to hear. It’s not so much that it teaches us as it’s the strongest reminders. Things we NEED to hear. I found myself thinking: Yes, yes... I know I should, I must...and when I was only half way through I was blocking people’s phone numbers and throwing old photographs and poems that I’d been holding on to into the fireplace___and I have no regrets. It’s things we all need to hear but might be offended if they came from a friend. Things we have wanted to say to friends but haven’t dared.
But Chidera Eggerue can say whatever she wants to us and she does it SO WELL. Trust me, you need this book. :-)
