If this was your last year of single, what would you do? We are the first generation in history who can choose to be single, and we have no idea how to enjoy it. Being in a relationship feels important and being single feels too hard. So, let’s change it.

Bree Steele has been single for seven years and has done everything single people are supposed to do. After getting brutal life advice from Graham Norton, crying on the kitchen floor at 4am after a date and losing her job, Bree decided enough is enough.

We are going to live this year as though it’s our last year of single. We are going to make a list of all the things we would do if this was our final year of true freedom, and we’re going to do everything on the list.

We are also going to figure out how to make the day to day of single living easier.

Let's redefine what is means to be single.
