About this listen
The former sex and 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 audiobook.
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-listen 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 an audiobook for anyone who desperately wants to feel less alone and a little more connected through listening to her words.

Not what I expected

This book is more of a biography for the author. What I love about it is that she narrates her own story- so you know her tone and intention throughout. It’s very engaging and easy to follow not something that drowns out after awhile.
The story itself isn’t 100% relatable but many of the themes are recurrent in my own life. While listening I was able to see similarities and open up new perspectives on myself.
The story makes you cry & laugh.
It is a VERY good book but be warned it is emotionally charged.
You definitely feel for the writer & feel like while you’re both alone- you’re both alone together.
It offers hope but it won’t give you tips and tricks to try to change your life with regards to feeling alone or being alone. Overall insightful.

Not sure how this was supposed to make people less

Also references her past constantly but never actually talks about what happened. Also does not actually tell you how to be alone until the last chapter.
Should not have been a book
