It’s Complicated by Philippa Found

It’s Complicated is a mosaic of human connections in all their shades – from breaking up to making out, quiet contentment to agonising lonelinesssexting to ghosting, friendships to ‘fuckboys’, pregnancy loss to profound fulfilment.

If you’ve ever checked your ex’s social media at 2am – or their new partner’s LinkedIn (because it’s the only social profile you can access) – or if everyone thinks you’re the perfect couple but you’ve been drifting apart for years – then you’ve probably felt a smarting of shame. But let me tell you something radical: your darkest secrets, your most repulsively shameful thoughts, feelings, and behaviours: you’re not alone.

Featuring 250 real-life anonymous submissions, this book peels back the layers of modern relationships.

These aren’t love stories – they’re stories about love.
