How to Be Alone

Lane Moore, renowned for her engaging humor and insightful hosting of the comedy show "Tinder Live with Lane Moore," offers readers a touching, comedic, and profoundly moving debut book. Known for her dynamic stage presence, be it as the charismatic lead of It Was Romance or during her popular shows, Lane's writing credentials include contributing to The Onion and serving as an award-winning Sex & Relationships Editor for Cosmopolitan. However, her path has not been without challenges. Lane had to parent herself, experienced homelessness during her teenage years, and relocated to New York City to pursue her career ambitions. She often turned to films, television, and music for the familial support she lacked. Her experiences range from spending holidays alone to finding more comfort in interactions with strangers than with those close to her and feeling like a perpetual romantic in a disenchanted world. Lane candidly shares her personal journey filled with honesty, apprehension, and eventual self-acceptance, with humor as her constant companion and strength. "How to Be Alone" resonates deeply with anyone who feels their childhood traumas remain unresolved, those who find solace in online friendships rather than real-world connections, and individuals who yearn for meaningful interactions amidst those who shy away from them. The book is especially for those eager to feel less isolated and seek a sense of connection through her words.
