Dating & Other Hobbies is a collection of female-centred poetry and short stories from spoken word artist Cat Hepburn (#GIRLHOOD), offering up a uniquely humorous and poignant exploration of modern relationships and dating culture. Screaming with authenticity and using toe-curlingly relatable observations on millennial life, Cat' s unashamed writing treats the reader with the honesty of a wine guzzling bestie on a night out, making it both gut-wrenching and spit-your-tea-out funny. Confessional, uncomfortable and hilarious all at once, from regrettable one night stands, to ' ghosting' to extramarital affairs- no stone is left unturned. Shining a light on the nuances of human connection and interaction in a world of digital dating and sexual exploration, Dating & Other Hobbies provides a truly unique celebration of early adulthood, and all the beautiful mess that comes with it.
