We are delighted to welcome Award-winning comedian, author and podcaster Rosie Wilby to the Book Shop. Rosie will be discussing her latest book, The Breakup Monologues: The Unexpected Joy of Heartbreak.

In 2011, Rosie was dumped by email. Obsessing about breakups ever since, she embarked on a personal quest to investigate, understand and conquer the psychology of heartbreak. Part memoir, part investigation, The Breakup Monologues takes on the big questions about our life-changing separations in the modern age of ghosting, breadcrumbing and conscious uncoupling.

In the third of three Saturdays afternoon talks at Mill Hill Chapel asking ‘What Happened to the Future?’, and as part of Leeds Lit Fest 2025, we welcome writer and critic JJ Charlesworth to discuss 'sci-fi and the end of the future'.
