Our Favorite Writers Recount the Most Romantic Things They’ve Ever Read
It’s Not You Sara Eckel
On Valentine’s Day, I think everybody—single or coupled—ought to read Sara Eckel’s wonderful and deceptively light new book, It’s Not You, based on her Modern Love column [in the New York Times] about being single for most of her twenties and thirties. Thin and fun-to-read, the book is also wise and soul-enhancing as Eckel makes a welcome case for commonsense, kindness and empathy in an area of life in which women are too often blamed, by themselves and others. What better time for an argument against single-shaming than on this most obnoxious of holidays?
