Help Me!

I love it! Hilarious and thought-provoking! Love! – Fearne Cotton, author of Happy
A laugh-out-loud funny book that also manages to be thought-provoking, perceptive and devastatingly honest. I loved it. – Lucy Diamond, author of The Island Getaway
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 its 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 *
The Bridget Jones of self-improvement * The Sunday Times *
