Comedian Rosie Wilby’s first book Is Monogamy Dead?: Rethinking Relationships in the 21st Century has been longlisted for the Polari First Book Prize, which rewards the best in LGBTQ writing.

In her book Wilby explores the challenges of intimacy and romance in the age of Tinder. In early 2013, comedian Rosie Wilby found herself at a crossroads with everything she'd ever believed about romantic relationships. When people asked, 'who's the love of your life?' there was no simple answer. Did they mean her former flatmate who she'd experienced the most ecstatic, heady, yet ultimately doomed, fling with? Or did they mean the deep, lasting companionate partnerships that gave her a sense of belonging and family? Surely, most human beings need both. 

Sara Pascoe said: "My favourite way to learn is when a funny, clever, honest person is teaching me - that's why I love Rosie Wilby!" 

The book follows Rosie’s TEDx talk, Radio 4 Four Thought and a trilogy of comedy shows exploring love and relationships which she has toured internationally.
