Your guide to navigating the highs, lows, and hurdles of new solo parenthood. Tackle the overwhelm and uncertainty head on and give yourself permission to imagine a life that looks different to the one you thought you'd have... and happier than you'd ever thought possible.

There are over two million single parents in the UK (one in four families is run by a single parent) but there is no one book focusing on how the hell you begin to be one. With practical advice on everything from legal considerations to co-parenting, finances to dating, How to Be a Happy Single Parent is about building a life that is right for you, and your child.

In her work founding the UK's leading single parent app Frolo, Zoë heard thousands of stories from single parents in all situations about how lost and lonely those early days are. She has heard the same questions over and over again and found that while their backgrounds and their setups may vary, solo parents everywhere share many of the same concerns. The community she founded has helped thousands of people find a way to not just survive, but thrive, and this book is designed to take that approach to a wider audience.

This is the book people will pick up when they think 'oh god I've made a mistake'. This is the book you'll hand your best friend when they say 'I need to leave but I don't know how'. It is the book you'll read when you're feeling overwhelmed by the enormity of what you are about to navigate. It will be the first completely inclusive and practical book of its kind and offer a lifeline and a starting point for the hundreds of thousands of people becoming single or solo parents every single year.
