Loving Captivity is our love letter to the pandemic. As a mum slash writer, the lockdown isn’t so different to my normal life; I work at home and can’t go out hunting the next love of my life at night because of a sleeping six-year-old. It was liberating to write about my dating experiences – and limitations – in the context of COVID-19.
