Never Have I Ever: My Life (So Far) Without a Date

“I've been single my whole life. I’ve neither had a boyfriend, nor have I ever been on a short-term dating situation. I’ve never regularly hung out and kissed a single person on the face."

This is Katie Heaney's memoir of the years she spent looking but never being able to find love.

By the time she was 25-years old, Katie had a college degree, a lot of friends, and a happy family life. The one thing that was still lacking in her life was a boyfriend. She's barely even been on a second date.

Hilarious, relatable, and inspiring, this is a memoir for anyone who has ever had trouble finding love, but still had fun in the process.
