Can you be happy without a partnership at the centre of your life?

As Marianne Power turns forty, she wonders why marriage and kids remain elusive for her. However, is this what she even wants, or just what society deems she should want? At first, she leans into the alternatives – self-love, self-marriage, sisterhood – but is she avoiding confronting her fears about commitment, relationships and sex?

Marianne sets off on a journey determined to answer this question: can you have a life full of love without marriage and kids?

From tantra to Skype sex, from polyamory to sologamy, Marianne’s quest takes her to some hilarious, scary and moving places – and she discovers that maybe, in these chaotic times, loving thy neighbour is more important than romantic ideals.

Honest, intimate and inspiring, Love Me! is about the freedom to envision the life you want, and finding the courage to choose it.
