Levy is a fantastic writer and reporter, cool-headed, witty and without self-pity -- Rachel Cooke ― Observer

By chapter three of The Rules Do Not Apply I was ordering copies for every woman I love... Levy's honesty and grief are dazzling ― Sunday Times

Brutally honest yet ultimately uplifting ― Vogue

In this heartwrenching memoir, the journalist reveals how her desire to have it all - the partner, the lover, the adventurous career and the happy family - was painfully blown apart ― Stylist

A memoir that will change the way you think about monogamy and motherhood . . . we defy you not to read it in a single sitting ― Elle

'Every deep feeling a human is capable of will be shaken loose by this short, but profound book' David Sedaris

 

'I wanted what we all want: everything. We want a mate who feels like family and a lover who is exotic, surprising. We want to be youthful adventurers and middle-aged mothers. We want intimacy and autonomy, safety and stimulation, reassurance and novelty, coziness and thrills. But we can't have it all.'

Ariel Levy picks you up and hurls you through the story of how she lived believing that conventional rules no longer applied - that marriage doesn't have to mean monogamy, that aging doesn't have to mean infertility, that she could be 'the kind of woman who is free to do whatever she chooses'. But all of her assumptions about what she can control are undone after a string of overwhelming losses.

'I thought I had harnessed the power of my own strength and greed and love in a life that could contain it. But it has exploded.'

Levy's own story of resilience becomes an unforgettable portrait of the shifting forces in our culture, of what has changed - and what never can.
