"Beguiling" - Washington Post
"MacNicol’s memoir is not a rah-rah-I-don’t-need-a-man-so-f***-you type of book. Instead, it’s something better ― it’s honest." - Huffington Post "A perfect balance between edgy and poignant." - People "Engaging and honest...MacNicol is relatable, and the joy she finds in her life, lived on her own terms, is striking." - Booklist "Amid the raft of motherhood memoirs out this summer, it’s refreshing to read a book unapologetically dedicated to the fulfillment of single life...a personable, entertaining reflection on the author’s 40th year." - Vogue "That she lets us in on this journey is a gift.” - Buzzfeed "Will resonate with countless women and men" - Publishers Weekly "Sharp, intimate... Unapologetic in her embrace of the ups and downs of the improvised solo life, MacNicol offers a refreshing view of the possibilities--and pitfalls--personal freedom can offer modern women. A funny, frank, and fearless memoir." - Kirkus "Sharp, hilarious, enthralling." - Nylon Magazine "Smart and hilarious and exactly as nuanced as you want it to be." - GOOP "A super honest and totally hilarious journey of self-discovery." - Chatelaine |

“Glynnis has written a book that is honest, hilarious and raw—it misses nothing. Her voice literally jumps off the page and becomes your friend, sister, caretaker, asskicker.”
—Alyssa Mastromonaco, Who Thought This Was a Good Idea
"No One Tells You This takes readers from Canada to New York to Wyoming in its mapping of contemporary adulthood, unmoored from the institutions that once defined it for women. Wrestling with loneliness, independence, grief and exhilaration, MacNicol offers a piercing examination of what it means both to love grown-up, complicated women—mothers, sisters, friends, intergalactic princesses—and to be one.”
—Rebecca Traister, All The Single Ladies
Glynnis MacNicol generously imparts the kind of wisdom we are usually so loathe and suspicious to receive. She doesn't proselytize, she doesn't pander, she doesn't beat you over the head with inspirational buzzwords. She simply tells the truth about her life. In my 20s, I was too dumb and terrified to articulate my desires. In my 30s, my fear is that society won't let me become the woman I want to be. This is the blueprint.
—Aminatou Sow, co-host Call Your Girlfriend
"Revealing as a three-martini lunch with a smart friend, this candid memoir shows a woman choosing to live happily (if also conflictedly) ever after on her own."
— Ada Calhoun, Wedding Toasts I'll Never Give
“No One Tells You This is the story of a woman living by her own rules—alone—and having the audacity to enjoy it. Glynnis lays bare the complexity of being a woman on her own in the world, in all its heartbreak, humor and, yes, joy.”
—Jessica Bennett, Feminist Fight Club
