Just finished your book, on the daily monotonous journey to London (work) and it is FANTASTIC! It's made me realise it is ok to be single (me being the only one in my friendship group who is very much unattached!) I swear I have a red button labelled "relationship distruct" on my body somewhere- as all my past Distrations have been pure frogs! Looking to find my Prince- but until then I'm happy to be a SG living life to the full! x x x

Hi Imogen, This is my first visit to your website and am pleasantly surprised! :-) I have just started reading your book over the past week and am very much enjoying it. I'm currently (to cut it short) going through relationship difficulties, with an on-off older boyfriend. However, your book seems to be helping me to pluck up the courage to finish it, which I am indeed finding very hard, but feel I have to, in order to get my self-respect back. Best wishes, Heidi x

Despite Rod Liddle's snide remarks in The Sunday Times, you have my admiration for disaproving of drug use. Keep it up.

Hi Imogen I came across your site a while ago; I would like to say how interesting your site is, and good luck with the book, I wish you every success. Regards James.

Just a brief compliment on your very accurate piece in the Daily Mail today regarding nike nose (always running). It's all so very true, and sadly makes it hard to meet someone who doesn't indulge, as the stuff really is so commonplace now. I expect you will get some sort of backlash for speaking your mind, but sod them - stuff like this needs to be said, so stick to your guns! Good luck with the book.
Andy, 27, NYC/UK

Saw your piece in today's Daily Mail... really very good. Taking bugger-sugar says much about how folks feel within themselves of course and much about the day to day steady (or not so steady) mind states the milling throng lives within. These past 13 years when coming back on hols from different points of the globe (France, Seattle, Australia) I've found the UK en masse to be ratcheting up its stress levels with all the resultant behaviours. Don't give up the quest for a decent mate! Sinc. and again great piece.

Hello, I just read on your blog that your book will be published in the US in October--that's *fantastic*! I myself am a SG New Yorker and like everyone else, have found your work truly inspiring, incredibly witty, and just an amazing, fun read all in itself. I think other American SGs will love it! Congratulations. :-)
Ellen, 27, New York

This book is fab, it's an eye opener and has given me great influence on everyday life. A book well worth read!!
Helen, 24, England

After a recent hugely depressing party where I was the only single person..(( And numerous equally depressing Blind dates set up by people who clearly, secretly, hate me..)), I was bought your book - inspirational.. and hilarious - and has changed my whole outlook..thank you!hx

I read your book this week and love it! Sooo true . . . I'm getting copies for my SG friends so they can enjoy it too. Also I bought Glamour in an airport recently and agree with you that they didn't credit your views accurately, rubbish! (I only bought Glamour because Girls Aloud were on the front and I like them better than Kiera Knightley . . .) My own situation is that I'm 30 (31 on Thurs!) and been married for the last nearly 5 years, the last year where we limped on and it became obvious that things were irrevocably broken. I later found out he cheated and was a lying toad, but that's fish and chip paper now! He still wants to be friends which is bizarre and not all that likely, I think! So, I took myself off to Germany to work for a year. People in my company in the UK made a tremendous fuss about my working abroad which is very nice but I feel a bit of a fraud as Germany isn't exactly the back of beyond! Anyway it's fun that they call me 'Lady Ambassador' etc. I've realised that I'm not a freak for being on my own . . . One of my 'friends' took the view on my break-up, 'can't you just put up with him, think about your age!' Eh?!! I'm finding being single pretty much fun, I have some great girl friends and a couple of gay guy friends, we've had some great times. Learning to flirt again has been fun too - my company had a sports weekend (my own performance was seriously average but hey, there were some real athletes there!) and lots of fit young men! The dress code was 'sporty' for the closing party and I'm mystified as to why guys found me attractive in combat trousers and trainers . . . I guess it comes down to something like being relaxed and smiling a lot! A 'distraction' did result . . . On email for the time being but there is potential ;o) I haven't seen much of the 'Joseph' tv show but I caught a little last time I was back in the UK - with you on the thought that Lee should win! So, thanks for a wonderful read and giving SGs a boost! All the best for the future and I look forward to reading more of your work! Kate x

Sam - thank you so much for your lovely message, so pleased you enjoyed the book. A few people think I should be writing the Single Guy's Guide next... Not sure, would definitely need a co-author. Might be fun auditioning for one!!! ;)
Imo, 30, London

I finished your book on the tube on my way to work this morning and I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed it. I have been single for over a year (I know I am very young!) but I have only just lately realised that I am enjoying being single and on my own! Your book made me see even more that it is the best situation for me at this moment in time! Also, my sister is currently fighting with her bf of 3 years and it is looking like there might be some heart-break on the way, so I would like to thank you in advance for helping her as I am going to give her your book to read to cheer her up, or try! Do you have any plans for any further books? x
Sam, 21, London

Have literally just finished bk 2 mins ago..... been split up with husband 2 1/2 yrs and am finally happy with my 7 yr old and my SG life.LOL at loads of bits and have bought copies for my 2 best SGs! Thanks for celebrating what we already knew in our hearts but often forget in our minds....... ax

Reading an article on one of most popular Polish websites about your book, I came to the similar conclusion. I am 30 years old, now getting divorced. I am doing my second studies (now opera-singing, then electrical engineering!!!), finaly doing what I always wanted to do, after a few, not great, choices. Now, when I live as a single, doing what I want, meeting who I want, eating what I want, going out where and with whom I want, captain of my own life, I am the happiest man in the whole world. The happiness is inside me, independent of anybody, anyone, and anything! There is more i wanted to say to you, about my opinion of a "life as a single man" so much alike to "life of a single woman', but too much for my English and the space on the Message Board! Sincerly, Michal.
Michal, 30, Poland

Imo i just read the article you wrote in Jane mag. it was fabulous. can't wait to hear more from you.

I'm not single. I'm not a girl. I'm not a guide. Why am I here? I know - I'm in need of guidance. That's settled then.
