Help Me!

I love it! Hilarious and thought-provoking! Love! -- Fearne Cotton
A laugh-out-loud funny book that also manages to be thought-provoking, perceptive and devastatingly honest. I loved it. -- Lucy Diamond
A sweet sharp read, and the last chapter made me cry. As someone a bit dubious of self-help books, it’s perfect: Power spends a year trying to live a month per book. It’s quite a fun journey through the ups and downs of negotiating ourselves through life, but underneath that is a serious, generous message, and it really does feel like you’ve learned something by the end of it. -- Jessie Burton, author of The Miniaturist
Marianne’s writing makes me smile and has moved me to tears more than once. She combines a journalist’s no-nonsense investigative skills with a tenderness and honesty that sets her apart . . . In helping herself, it turned out that Marianne was helping all of us. -- Erin Kelly, author of He Said/She Said
Couldn't put this book down – Marianne's honesty and wit shone through. There's something everyone can relate to, whether or not you like self-help – just a hugely enjoyable, fantastic read. -- Poorna Bell, author of Chase the Rainbow
Sublime and ridiculous, in equal measure. I tore through it hungrily. One minute I was having an existential epiphany, the next I was honking with laughter. Britain’s answer to Sarah Knight, with Amy Schumer’s naked hilarity and Matt Haig’s soul-deep profundity chucked in. -- Catherine Gray, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober
I’ve laughed and cried my way through it’s pages . . . Give it a try! -- Keegan Hirst (on Instagram)
Sparkling . . . a laugh-out-loud odyssey, with embarrassing incidents and downright disasters aplenty. If you've ever worried that self-help might be a euphemism for self-obsession, then this is a book for you. * Bookseller *
Power is such an engaging writer, it’s hard not to empathise with what she’s saying . . . Plus, she’s very funny . . . Marianne Power is a delightful companion and one who (putting all natural misanthropy aside) acts a powerful reminder that the traditional ways of denigrating or demanding too much of ourselves ain’t going to get us anywhere . . . excellent * Emerald Street *
Funny and fearless, I loved Help Me! almost as much as I loved Marianne’s mum who was always on hand with some no-nonsense advice and really needs to write her own self-help book. -- Sarra Manning * Red Magazine *
