The author, Christine Arylo explains the inspiration for writing this book:
"I wrote this book, as a woman who almost married the wrong guy for all the wrong reasons, to speak to women of all ages, whether you’re seeking a relationship, evaluating a less than fulfilling one, rebounding from a bad breakup, or working through issues with a partner, Choosing ME before WE can teach you how to stop settling, to get real about the kind of partner you are looking for, and to start exploring and creating what you truly want in yourself and your relationship."

Author's Note: While I fully believe that Choosing ME before WE is a book for all women, at some point I had to choose a pronoun, and HE is the one I’ve always related to. Whatever your lifestyle choices and sexual orientation, if you are a woman who wants to explore, discover, and love more of herself, then this is a journey is for you, and I hope you’ll decide to take it.
It felt like I was talking to my girlfriend or with someone whose opinion I could really trust.

Publisher’s Weekly Says:
"Author and life coach Arylo's own life story informs every page of this insightful book.
After a 15-year relationship, her fiancé called it quits two hours before the engagement party, causing Arylo, a successful marketing executive, months of devastation and self-doubt.
This three-part guide about co-dependent relationships, settling for the wrong man and not knowing what you want begins with “Me,” showing how crucial it is to get to know yourself first because “our relationships are mirrors of ourselves.” Arylo delves a little deeper than most by being honest about how many women are in denial about relationships being fueled by the fear of being alone and feeling incomplete. In part two (“He”), the author guides the reader through a series of visualizations to identify four core qualities the reader wants in her future mate, and part three (“We”) advises on maintaining authenticity and intimacy in a relationship.
This exercise in intention-setting and manifestation will help any woman who wants a lasting partnership that reflects her own true self. (Mar.)"
