PRAISE FOR ALONE A LOVE STORY This is a lyrical tribute to the intoxicating - photo 1
PRAISE FOR
ALONE: A LOVE STORY

This is a lyrical tribute to the intoxicating, dramatic, destructive, and ultimately empowering nature of love. I could not stop reading Michelles story, and now I cannot stop thinking about it.

ANNA MARIA TREMONTI, acclaimed journalist and broadcaster

Page by page, Michelle Parises story of love, betrayal, loss, and ultimately redemption is filled with moments of grace, humour, pain, hope, and wisdom. Beautifully and powerfully written, Alone: A Love Story left me heartbroken and inspired at the same time.

TERRY FALLIS, bestselling author of Albatross

Michelle Parise is the best company. Her passion and humour leap off the page.

CAMILLA GIBB, internationally acclaimed author

When someone hurts you deeply (like, REALLY deeply), it can turn you into a special correspondent from the wreckage that is your own heartbreak. It may take all your self-control not to grab strangers by the shirt collar and shout, He hurt me! When Michelle Parises life blew up, she did the more socially acceptable and thoughtful version of this: she wrote her own love story. Its brave, resonant, and oh so raw. In Alone: A Love Story, Michelle turns her greatest shock into a story that lets you get close enough to feel its sting and understand its nuance. Her book doubles as a survival guide for when its your turn to rethink your relationship with love itself. Plus, Michelle Parise channels some seriously steamy Canadian Bridget Jones divorcee realness, and Im here for it.

ANDREA SILENZI, host of the podcast Why Oh Why

For anyone who has had a marriage fall apart, Alone: A Love Story is a book to keep close. Parise is unflinching as she reports back from her broken heart and, as strange as this might seem, comforts by showing us the way from loneliness to standing tall... and alone.

LAURIE BROWN, music journalist and host of Pondercast

Michelle Parises writing makes me feel like I can be more myself. She is remarkable at rendering the (nearly) universal human experience of deceit into a tightly woven tapestry of vulnerability, rawness, and humour, and while shes doing it, makes you contemplate your inner life with more acceptance and compassion.

BRITT WRAY, Ph.D., broadcaster, and author of Rise of the Necrofauna

Alone: A Love Story is an emotional memoir of a life exploded the end of a marriage, referred to as The Bomb and the chaos that follows. But its also about what blooms in the wreckage. Beautifully written, intimate, alive, and accessible, the story flows like a conversation with your most interesting, wise, and exciting friend.

EMILY URQUHART, author of Beyond the Pale

You know that feeling, when a close friend shares a secret with you? The rush of surprise and empathy you get, as you hear the most intimate and heartbreaking details of someones life? Michelle Parise has turned us into confidantes, revealing her experiences of love, dating, and divorce. Alone: A Love Story is equal parts pain and hope, served with a side of laughs and were all wiser for it.

DUNCAN McCUE, CBC Radio host and author of The Shoe Boy

How do you know when an ending is actually a beginning? Whats it like to love the ones we cant be with? Ardent, urgent, and honest, Parises wildly intimate voice reminds us that as long as we are feeling feeling longing or loss, collapse or curiosity, the things that make us human we are never really alone.

ADRIAN McKERRACHER, author of What It Means to Write

Alone: A Love Story is a courageous and full-throttled confessional. Michelle Parise has written a fierce and compassionate book about losing yourself to grief and then finding yourself again with humour and grace.

DAEMON FAIRLESS, journalist and author of Mad Blood Stirring

Alone: A Love Story is a universal, human, female experience; its a homecoming and a reckoning. Parise took her story, one of pain, rage, and ultimately hope, and decided to own it, to reframe it, to tell it to the world on her terms. Alone: A Love Story tells a unique, nuanced story of healing. Weve seen enough stories about self-destructive lost women. Parise explores the more real female narrative: we bleed but were masters at covering it up. Parises writing is addictively, heartbreakingly great. She will inspire you and she will devastate you, and you will be better for it.

KATIE BOLAND, actor, writer, and filmmaker

Dating, love, marriage, parenthood, and scrape-yourself-off-the-floor heartbreak is illuminated in Alone: A Love Story. Michelle takes us into the hearts dark corners with dark humour and deep honesty, pouring out her story like a funny, fierce friend who trusts you with everything. I dont know anyone who wont see themselves somewhere in this story (but be glad Michelles the one doing the telling). Ultimately, Alone: A Love Story gives us something we all want: to feel less alone.

CHRISTA COUTURE, author of How to Lose Everything

PRAISE FOR THE PODCAST
ALONE: A LOVE STORY

Michelle Parise knows how to shape and deliver a story that will keep you coming back for more.

THE ATLANTIC

The storytelling is exemplary. The way the narrative unfolds, moving back and forth in time, conjures up the full scope of emotion horror and anxiety and wonder and happiness. Parises is a very particular story but in many ways its universal and familiar. The thing Im most struck by is the neat way she walks the tightrope between hope and despair, darkness and light.

SHARON BALA, author of The Boat People
