Hard to Keep
Love After the Easy Version EndsBy Sera Nolan
Length4h 59m
About this audiobook
Some people do not fear being unloved.
They fear becoming harder to keep once love has to hold the fuller truth of who they are.
In Hard to Keep, Sera Nolan explores the hidden romantic fear that emerges after the beginning, when attraction gives way to maintenance, closeness brings exposure, and the easier version of the self no longer feels sufficient to carry the relationship forward.
Serious, intimate, and emotionally exact, this audiobook gives language to one of the most private tensions in modern love: the fear that being fully known may make a person less easy to stay with over time.
For listeners who have ever felt most secure at the start of love and most uncertain once it became real.
