Grace (Eastbourne)
My name is Grace. I’m originally from South America but I’ve been living in the UK for 30 years and in Eastbourne for twelve. I work on my own which makes it difficult to meet people and make friends.I’m a total gym bunny and love anything active — walking, cycling, you name it. I’m also into foreign films, languages, reading and generally socialising. Just looking to meet other ladies, whether we share the same interests or not.

Chloe (Lewes)
I'm Chloe, I'm 42. I love books. Looking for a book group to give me more of a reading habit and to meet new people. I enjoy fantasy, such as Twilight, classics such as Little Women, Sense and Sensibility, and the Sun Also Rises. Loved the Bell Jar too. I also enjoy suspense filled thrillers such as Verity. Reading plays is fun. Would love to read a play in a night with a group, Oh and I think Manga is stunning.

Kayleigh (Hastings)
I'm obsessed with dark romance, whether they be MF or FF. I’m looking for a women-only safe space who love diving into steamy encounters, intense emotions and a bit of healthy yearning (aka smut). I’m also a huge fan of thrillers, historical and fantasy. Jane Austen, Anna Zaires and Runyx are currently my favourite authors.
