Ten Men

A Stylist pick of the best non-fiction for 2024 A Cosmopolitan and Glamour best new book for April 2024 'A no-holds-barred account of the highs and lows of being a single woman on the modern dating scene' Sunday Times Style 'A bold and thought-provoking read that challenges societal norms on consent, exploitation and celebrates the power of self-discovery' Glamour TEN MEN, MANY STORIES. At the beginning of the year, Kitty Ruskin decided it was time to embrace her sexuality, taking advantage of all the joys that being young, free and single bring and having fun, easy, no-strings sex with whomsoever she desired. She got on the apps and started swiping. What followed was sometimes sexy, frequently funny, occasionally shocking and, sadly, all too often fraught with pain and danger. It was not the carefree adventure she had envisaged; it was something altogether darker. Ten Men is one woman's tale told with searing honesty. It's an exploration of the 'blurred lines' that even seemingly nice guys can exploit, a meditation on the lack of clarity around consent and a call to arms to combat a culture that seems to thrive on women's vulnerability.
