Jumia Books Ask Me How It Works: Love in an Open Marriage by Deepa Paul

Ask Me How It Works by Deepa Paul is a bold and intimate memoir that challenges conventional ideas about love, commitment, and partnership. Subtitled Love in an Open Marriage, the book offers a deeply personal account of navigating non-monogamy with honesty, vulnerability, and humor.

Set against a vibrant backdrop of modern relationships, Paul invites readers into the emotional terrain of open marriage—not as a sensational experiment, but as a conscious, evolving choice. Through vivid storytelling and reflective insight, she explores the joys, tensions, and revelations that come with loving more than one person while staying rooted in trust and transparency.

The book is structured around real-life experiences, emotional turning points, and the questions that arise when traditional boundaries are reimagined. From jealousy and communication to intimacy and identity, Paul unpacks the complexities with grace and clarity. The cover’s playful imagery—a pea pod with three peas—symbolizes the unconventional yet deeply connected nature of her relationship.

Praised by Gillian Anderson as a perspective-shifting read, Ask Me How It Works is ideal for readers curious about ethical non-monogamy, relationship design, or simply the courage to live authentically. It’s not a manual—it’s a mirror, reflecting the messy, beautiful truth of love that refuses to be boxed in.
