Love Expanded: How asexuals and aromantics are redefining love, life and family

A boundary-pushing book that redefines how we love.

What if romantic love wasn't the only kind we prioritised? What would happen if we put the same emphasis on platonic love? How would we understand and relate to each other? How would we change?

In this quietly radical book, Wren Burke makes a case for breaking out of our outdated social and cultural conventions that tell us romance alone will bring us true happiness. By shifting our focus to love all its manifestations, Love Expanded offers us a way through the loneliness epidemic: one that prioritises community and companionship over the search for 'the one'.

This illuminating book is for anyone who wants deeper, more authentic connections; for those who crave partnership but not romance; for single people in a world which benefits couples. It offers us new languages for consent that take apart old-fashioned scripts in favour of better, clearer communication, and different approaches to dating that focus less on seeking instant attraction and more on building friendships.

You don't need a romantic partner to be complete; you're already whole.
