How to Get Along Without Meis a collection that summons the perversity and poignance of twentysomething dating lives from a bracingly wry and honest new literary voice.

In a world designed for couples, the protagonists of these interconnected stories have easy access to acquaintances with benefits but no paths to emotional intimacy.

""Surprising, funny, and painfully true.

How to Get Along Without Meis an anthropological account of dating, a catalogue of shitheads, a love letter to grandparents, and a reminder that those years of flailing in love and failing to launch are 'taut with possibility.'""-Christine Smallwood, author ofThe Life of the Mind

""Viciously funny and unashamedly sexy stories that plumb the loneliness of desire from first swipe to coupledom.""-Danielle Lazarin, author ofBack Talk

""The stories inHow to Get Along Without Meare wary and beautiful, savage and true.

KateAxelrod has given us a book that is both modern and timeless.""-Lindsay Hunter, author ofHot Springs Drive

""The perfect stories for reanimating your soul when you've gone numb online but still yearn to engage with the human condition.""-Elisa Albert, Author ofHuman Blues

""Axelrod's prose is careful, intelligent, and contemplative...""-Publishers Weekly
