About the book

After breaking up with the love of her life, Chloe’s friends tell her she needs to get back out there, and find another man before it’s too late. But after a particularly disastrous date and one too many gins, Chloe has a revelation – she doesn’t need a man to make her happy. It’s up to her to do it herself.

Never one to do things by halves, Chloe decides to make the ultimate commitment to self-love – she’ll marry herself! But planning a solo wedding isn’t easy, and soon Chloe finds herself on a bumpy journey of self-discovery. Will she finally get her happy ever after?

About the author, Sophie Tanner

My first novel, Reader, I Married Me, was published by Trapeze Books in 2019 and is loosely based on my own experiences of marrying myself. I’m signed to leading literary agency, LBA. I’m currently writing my second novel, Ordinary Folk, alongside working as a Senior Copywriter at the UK’s oldest and largest animal charity, the RSPCA. When I’m not writing, I love frolicking in nature with my labrador. I’m an avid reader and a strong believer in the transformative power of fiction.
