'Delightful, insightful and totally unapologetic' – Bella DePaulo, PhD, author of Single at Heart
'Lucy gives modern single women the space to be heard' – Jody Day, founder of Gateway Women
Being single and childfree is a choice, a joy and a life worth celebrating
Unmarried, childfree women are statistically the happiest demographic in society, so why is being single still treated as a consolation prize? With 45% of women predicted to be single by 2030, Lucy Meggeson believes it's about time we level the playing field.
Through candid conversations and personal experience, Lucy dives into the ups and downs (mostly ups!) of being single and childfree. She explores living and travelling alone, nurturing your friendships, where sex fits in, and how to embrace your sense of freedom.
Part investigation, part celebration, Shiny Happy Singles inspires single women everywhere to thrive in a world that insists happiness only comes in pairs.

Lucy's work is for anyone on the verge of their authenticity as a happy, thriving single person, but who may also need a bit more support and community to help soothe any feelings of shame or fear. She's a brilliant source of positive energy for singles and why shouldn't we have exactly that? I'll read and listen to her work, always.
Shani Silver, author of 'A Single Revolution'
Thank you to Lucy for giving the modern single woman the space to be heard for who she really is, and not who society and the press think she is – or should be.
Jody Day, psychotherapist and author of 'Living the Life Unexpected'
This delightful, insightful, and totally unapologetic take on the lives of childfree single women made a shiny happy reader out of me. Lucy Meggeson has so much to bring to this book – her experiences as a leading podcaster on the topic, her interviews with single childfree women, her understanding of the relevant research and contemporary context of childfree singlehood, and her own experiences, humor, and wisdom. Here's to her and all the fortunate readers who discover this gem.
