About this listen
The former sex and relationships editor for Cosmopolitan and host of the wildly popular comedy show Tinder Live with Lane Moore presents her poignant, funny, and deeply moving first audiobook.
Lane Moore is a rare performer who is as impressive onstage - whether hosting her iconic show Tinder Live or being the enigmatic front woman of It Was Romance - as she is on the page, as both a former writer for The Onion and an award-winning sex and relationships editor for Cosmopolitan. But her story has had its obstacles, including being her own parent, living in her car as a teenager, and moving to New York City to pursue her dreams. Through it all, she looked to movies, TV, and music as the family and support systems she never had.
From spending the holidays alone to having better “stranger luck” than with those closest to her to feeling like the last hopeless romantic on Earth, Lane reveals her powerful and entertaining journey in all its candor, anxiety, and ultimate acceptance - with humor always her bolstering force and greatest gift.
How to Be Alone is a must-listen for anyone whose childhood still feels unresolved, who spends more time pretending to have friends online than feeling close to anyone in real life, who tries to have genuine, deep conversations in a roomful of people who would rather you not. Above all, it’s an audiobook for anyone who desperately wants to feel less alone and a little more connected through listening to her words.

You can tell that Lane Moore is a brilliant comedy writer and to hear her read the book herself is a real treat.

Touched on a range of topics that I found relevant, looking at relationships, upbringing, connection, lonliness and even some useful thoughts about sharing life with a dog!
I thank Lane for her candid honesty, bravery and helping me with my own battle with being alone.
I wish I'd read this sooner

I know that moment when a yoga teacher showed me gentle care in a 3 second touch and I cried because it had felt like years since I was touched in that way with care after a 7 year relationship. I know that feeling that someone saw the magic and the giving nature in me but had no intention of adding to it and only taking, and how that set me back...on more than one occasion. But I also saw your hope and this hope has given me more hope.
I loved this Lane. Thank you. You are so talented and your heart shines through in your work.
