520    "One evening, thirtysomething single writer Aimée Lutkin 
       found herself at a dinner party surrounded by couples. 
       When the conversation turned to her love life, Lutkin--who
       had dated on and (mostly) off for years--stated simply, "I
       don't really know if I'm going to date anyone ever again. 
       Some people are just alone forever." As her friends rushed
       to assure her that love comes when you least expect it and
       to make recommendations for new dating apps, Lutkin 
       wondered, Why, when there are more unmarried adults than 
       ever before, is there so much pressure to couple up? Why 
       is everyone so uncomfortable around single people? Why 
       does it seem like your real life can't start until you 
       meet The One? And is it possible to be single without 
       being lonely? Over the course of the next year, Lutkin set
       out to answer these questions and to see if there really 
       was some trick for escaping loneliness out there. She went
       on hundreds of dates; read the sociologists, authors, and 
       relationship experts exploring singlehood and loneliness; 
       dove into the wellness industrial complex; tossed it all 
       aside to binge-watch Netflix and eat nachos; and probed 
       the capitalist structures that make alternative family 
       arrangements nearly impossible"--|cProvided by publisher.
