Love, Expanded is not a book about suffering, though the challenges queer people face are everywhere and real. Quietly radical, it is a guide for what non-traditional relationships can look like in all their myriad forms, and a source of advice from aromantic and asexual people on how to form them. It's about opening up opportunities for expanded love, for everyone. It's for the sake of single people struggling to own a home, for those who feel that friendship is less prominent in their lives than they would like; for people who want more social support for lives lived happily single. It's about new languages for consent for better, clearer communication; it's about different approaches to dating that focus less on seeking instant 'chemistry' and more on building friendships. It's about a-spec joy.

In Love, Expanded, Wren places the focus on the power and importance of platonic love and relationships, and gives a new perspective to how we all relate to each other, offering hope and solace and joy to so many people who may not feel that they belong in our society's conventional frameworks for relationships, whether they are aroace or not.
