A funny, warm, and life-affirming novel about love, ambition, friendship, and the radical joy of choosing yourself, from bestselling author Emma Gannon.

“A fast-paced, funny, touching, and nuanced story about smart young women.” —Elizabeth Gilbert

“Joyful and affirming… This is a dopamine hit of a book that’ll also open your heart.” —Claire Daverley

“I loved this book. Loved. The book is about a woman whose relationship takes an unexpected turn which leads to a lot of pain but ultimately to finding herself again. My kind of book!” — Zibby Owens

Willow Jones has the life she thought she wanted: a beautiful London home, a successful start-up she built with her longtime boyfriend Dom, and a future that seems to be moving in all the right directions. But as Dom becomes more consumed by work, Willow begins to wonder why the life that looks so perfect from the outside has started to feel so small.

When an unexpected writing opportunity pulls her back toward the creative career she left behind, Willow finds herself interviewing Naz Chopra, a magnetic Gen Z influencer known for celebrating single life, solo dates, and self-love. What begins as a professional assignment turns into something far more personal, forcing Willow to question the roles she has been playing: as girlfriend, co-founder, future mother, loyal friend, and the woman who is always waiting for “soon.”

Smart, sharply observed, and deeply relatable, Table for One is a modern love story about women’s lives, friendship, societal pressure, online identity, ambition, and the courage it takes to make room for yourself. Perfect for readers of contemporary women’s fiction, book club fiction, and novels about self-discovery, it is a joyful reminder that the most important relationship you’ll ever have may be the one you build with yourself.

Pull up a chair for a delicious, thought-provoking novel about choosing your own life—and discovering that a table for one can still be full.
