«A captivating investigation» GRAZIA

«A sharp, clever, and moving look at the concept of marriage - as an achievement, compromise, betrayal, practical solution» REFINERY29

Marriage is a decision sometimes enforced by society and religion. Tom Rasmussen, coming from a working-class northern family, explores the allure of this institution, often linked to patriarchy and the elite. Why do many post proposal pictures on Instagram while opposing social injustices? Is it possible to be married and simultaneously rebel against the institution? Through different marriages and encounters with people who have married many times or question their decision, Rasmussen offers an in-depth and humorous analysis of marriage and what it means in relation to sexuality and social class.

«A sharp, compassionate exploration of the pleasures and pitfalls of marriage... A skillful deconstruction of normality today» DAZED

«I love Tom Rasmussen and adore his writing style» TRAVIS ALABANZA
