Can you be happy without long-term romantic love at the centre of your life?
Society still sets the gold standard for successful living as being married with children. As Marianne Power turns forty, she wonders why this is still so elusive for her, and whether in fact this is even what she wants, or just what she feels she should want. At first she tries to lean into the alternatives—self-love, self-marriage, sisterhood—but is she simply avoiding confronting her fears about commitment, relationships and sex?
Determined to find out for sure, the indomitable Marianne sets off on a journey to answer the question: can you have a life full of love without marriage and kids? From tantra to Skype sex, polyamory to sologamy, Marianne’s quest takes her to hilarious, scary and moving places—and she discovers that maybe, in these chaotic times, loving thy neighbour is more important than achieving a romantic ideal.
Honest, intimate and inspiring, Love Me! is about the freedom to envision the life you want, and the courage to choose it.
